Kenya and Switzerland enjoy longstanding and cordial relations, anchored in strong diplomatic ties and growing cooperation in trade, investment, technology and climate action.
Held talks with President Guy Parmelin of Switzerland on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
We discussed expanding trade and investment by addressing barriers to business, including progress towards an agreement to eliminate double taxation. We also explored deeper collaboration in artificial intelligence and technology, including a proposal for Kenya and Switzerland to jointly host the Geneva AI Summit in 2027.
On climate action, we discussed strengthening collaboration on carbon markets under the Paris Agreement to mobilise affordable capital, risk-sharing instruments and guarantees, unlock investment and create new opportunities from Kenya’s climate assets.
