Kenya and Senegal established a visa-free travel agreement on Tuesday at the State House in Nairobi. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Senegal's Foreign Affairs Minister Sheikh Niang signed the pact as President William Ruto and Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye observed. The arrangement permits holders of diplomatic or ordinary passports from both nations to enter, remain, and transit without visas for up to 90 days.
The two leaders emphasized that the agreement would strengthen people-to-people connections and enhance tourism, trade, and collaboration between their countries. They reviewed bilateral, regional, and continental issues. Both presidents reaffirmed their commitment to closer cooperation in trade, peace and security, energy, sports, and multilateral affairs. Kenya will host the inaugural Joint Cooperation Commission session in the second half of 2026 to monitor bilateral engagement.
