Defence Cabinet Secretary Hon. Soipan Tuya on Wednesday 16 April 2025 represented H.E President Dr William Ruto, as a Special Envoy, in bilateral talks with H.E Pham Min Chinh, Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on the sidelines of the ongoing 4th Session of the Partnering for Green Growth and Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit in Hanoi.
The Cabinet Secretary and the Prime Minister discussed several subjects of mutual interest to the two Republics including the shared desire to deepen diplomatic relations following the signing of an MOU on Diplomatic and Political Consultations in February.
Kenya is particularly keen to partner with Vietnam in defence cooperation as well as manufacturing, universal health coverage, affordable housing and food security, sectors that underpin the Asian country’s growing economy that attained an impressive 7.09% growth last year.
Also discussed was the need for concerted global efforts to tackle the growing challenge of transnational organised crimes as well as Vietnam’s support for Kenya’s desire to host the Global Plastics Treaty Secretariat at UNEP in Nairobi.
P4G is a forum for global leaders and experts to share insights and showcase innovations to accelerate global climate finance and deliver country level climate transitions.
