Kenya and United States Deepen Security Alliance to Drive Trade Growth and Strengthen Regional Stability

Kenya and the United States are strengthening their partnership. The goal is clear. Improve security. Grow trade. Build regional stability. Leaders from both countries say safety creates opportunity. Peace invites investors. Stability supports jobs.

US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Laundau spoke in Nairobi. He stood beside Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi. He said security comes first. Without it, nothing else works. He said no company will invest in fear. He said no worker will feel safe in chaos. Therefore, both nations must act.

Laundau said Kenya plays a key role in the Horn of Africa. He said peace in Kenya helps the entire region. When neighbours are stable, trade grows. When borders are calm, businesses expand. For this reason, the US will keep supporting Kenya.

He also mentioned the 1998 terror attack in Nairobi. He said such a tragedy must never happen again. The US will help Kenya prevent such threats. It will support security forces. It will share intelligence. It will also help protect the public.

Mudavadi welcomed the pledge. He said US support has been strong. It has helped fight terrorism. It has also supported peace efforts. As a result, Kenya is safer today. This safety now helps attract investors.

He also praised the renewal of AGOA. The trade deal now runs for three more years. It allows Kenyan goods into the US market. It supports exports. It creates jobs. It boosts the economy.

The deal helps farmers. It helps textile makers. It helps small businesses. It also strengthens trade ties between the two countries. Therefore, both sides benefit.

Mudavadi also spoke about Haiti. Kenya leads a security mission there. The US supports it financially. This shows trust. It also shows global partnership. Kenya values this support.

He said Kenya is proud to help keep peace abroad. He said this builds respect. It also builds stronger international ties.

Both nations share one vision. They want peace. They want growth. They want secure borders. They also want strong trade.

Kenya and the United States will keep working together. They will defend stability. They will also drive economic growth.
