India announces $250 million agriculture aid to boost ties with Kenya
Wednesday, 6 December 2023 India and Kenya aim to boost defence, maritime, and connectivity ties. India offers a $250 million line of credit to improve Kenya's agriculture sector. The two countries sign five agreements and issue a vision document for maritime cooperation in the Indian Ocean. India raises the issue of two missing Indian nationals in Nairobi. Kenya offers land to Indian companies for cultivation of crops. Both countries agree to increase cooperation in counter-terrorism and defence, including training exchanges and high-level visits.
Kenya faces a severe flooding crisis with 70 fatalities since mid-March, prompting a USD 29 million relief allocation. Over 130,000 people were displaced, and 64 Nairobi schools shut down. Rescue efforts continue after a tragic incident in Makueni, while a heavy rainfall warning urges caution. The regional impact extends to Tanzania and Burundi, demanding immediate action and vigilance.
