Defence Cabinet Secretary (CS) Aden Duale is expected to kick off a three-day official visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt.

Duale will be hosted by his Egyptian counterpart Gen. Mohamed Ahmed Zaki.

The visit is aimed at reinforcing the strategic partnership between Kenya and Egypt.

Delegations from Nairobi and Cairo are expected to discuss a range of topics including regional security, implementation of cooperation agreements on maritime and aerial security and opportunities for professional military academic institutions.

The defence cooperation between the two countries is a testament to their deeply-rooted relationship. 

The Joint Military Committee, meeting annually, has been a cornerstone of military exchanges, fostering an environment of mutual learning and support. 

The recent visit by the Egypt Armed Forces Army Engineers to the Kenya Army Engineers Brigade, and the ongoing workshop involving officers from the Egypt Navy with their Kenyan counterparts, highlight the dynamic nature of The Kenya, Egypt military engagement.
