Kenya and Senegal are set to strengthen their bilateral ties following a reaffirmation of mutual interests and commitment to shared prosperity between the two nations.

President William Ruto on Tuesday received a special message from Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, delivered by Ms Yassine Fall, Senegal’s Minister of African Integration and Foreign Affairs. The message was received during an official meeting in Nairobi.

In a statement, President Ruto expressed Kenya’s readiness to deepen cooperation with Senegal in key sectors of development.

“Kenya and Senegal share deep mutual interests both within Africa and globally. We are committed to deepening our cooperation in key sectors for the shared prosperity of our peoples,” President Ruto said.

The meeting underscored the importance of regional collaboration and solidarity, especially within the framework of African-led solutions to continental challenges. The leaders reaffirmed their dedication to advancing common goals across diplomacy, trade, youth empowerment, and integration efforts.

Kenya and Senegal have long enjoyed warm diplomatic relations, and this latest engagement signals renewed momentum toward meaningful partnerships in line with Africa’s Agenda 2063.
