Kenya’s Ministry of Defence is advancing strategic defence cooperation through international agreements aimed at enhancing national security and bilateral relations. Principal Secretary for Defence Dr. Patrick Mariru recently appeared before the National Assembly’s Defence and Foreign Relations Committee to discuss the ratification of various defence cooperation agreements and frameworks with partner countries.
