Japan and Kenya will undertake joint exploration according to reports from the Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry ministry. Minister Toshimitsu Motegi confirmed with the Kenyan government that the two countries will jointly undertake oil exploration in the southwestern part of Kenya.
Japan and Kenya’s NOCs, JOGMEC and NOCK respectively, agreed in April 2012 to jointly explore the Great Rift Valley Region.
Motegi met Deputy President William Ruto in Nairobi and told Kyodo News that “it is important for Japan to secure oil interests” in Kenya eventually.
Exploration is expected to be undertaken through the fall of 2014. Japan has been requesting Japanese companies be given concessions for exploration.
