Navigating diplomacy: Kenya's President Ruto set sail for enhanced maritime cooperation with India in maiden visit
FirstpostThe first visit by the new Kenyan President, William Ruto, to India is significant in many aspects. With the joint communique and the India-Kenya Joint Vision Statement on Maritime Cooperation in the Indian Ocean Region – “BAHARI”, the inclusion of Kenya into India’s SAGAR and Indo-Pacific policy seems to be moving ahead. Concerning maritime cooperation, India and Kenya are both charter members of the Indian Ocean Rim Association and both want to pursue it. India’s IFC-IOR for collective security in the Indian Ocean region will engage with Kenya’s maritime agencies. Providing training and capacity building, particularly for nontraditional threats to Kenyan defence forces, may bring Kenya more significantly into sharing India’s SAGAR and Indo-Pacific strategies.
