“Whether it is the war of invasion in Ukraine or weather it’s troubles in the Middle East, Kenya has always been one of those pillars of peace and that is why I’m particularly pleased that we agreed on the memorandum of understanding linked to peace mediation,” Stubb stated.
Stubb also mentioned that he wanted to work with Kenya more closely on economic matters.
“I’m also happy that we have a big business delegation here today because I do think that driving business interests, cooperation is a good way forward, According to Ruto, Finland’s knowledge of education, technology, renewable energy, and climate action “aligns closely with Kenya’s development priorities.
