Kenya and Vietnam eye embassies to deepen ties

Kenya wants to open a new office in Vietnam, and Vietnam plans to do the same in Kenya. Both countries talk about working together more closely. Defence leader Soipan Tuya met with Vietnam President Lương Cường, to discuss these plans. They agreed they need places where officials can work together on fighting crime, growing food, and sharing science knowledge.

Right now, Kenya handles Vietnam matters from Bangkok, and Vietnam deals with Kenya through Tanzania. Tuya gave President Ruto's letter to Vietnam's Prime Minister asking for stronger connections between both nations. They signed an agreement earlier this year about talking more often. Vietnam thinks they can trade more goods, invest more money, farm better, and bring more tourists to each other's countries.

The countries want to help each other with military matters, ensure people have enough food, teach students, and find ways to protect nature. Vietnam hopes Kenya can help it build relationships with other African countries. They also discussed stopping criminals who work across borders and keeping plastic out of oceans. No information shows if they talked about Margaret Nduta, a Kenyan facing the death penalty in Vietnam.
