Kenya and Algeria will work to together in accelerating development in the two countries, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said following a meeting with government officials. The two countries will work to develop trade opportunities and to counter security threats that both Algeria and Kenya face.
“We discussed many areas of cooperation including dealing with security threats our countries are facing. Algeria is facing security challenges emanating from Libya and Mali while Kenya is experiencing a similar situation from unstable Somalia and South Sudan,” Kenyatta said. He said Kenya and Algeria had agreed to accelerate the creation of mechanisms for exchanging trade information and promotion for the two countries to realize their full trading potentials.
“We also discussed how we can cooperate in areas of oil and gas given Algeria’s experience in this field,” Kenyatta said. “We can cooperate more in that sector and also in the sector of renewable energy as well as the environmental matters.”
Kenyatta also officially opened the Kenyan Embassy in Algiers while in the North African country, making Kenya the first East African nation to have a diplomatic mission in Algeria
