The guest noted that the visit of Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko to Kenya in December 2023 had contributed to strengthening the interaction between the two states. In his opinion, the good contacts between the leaders and their efforts play a crucial role in revitalizing bilateral ties.
“These efforts are the guiding principle. For our cooperation to develop further, the parliaments of the two countries must interact. This is precisely why this visit has been organized,” Amason Jeffah Kingi said. “The actions and efforts undertaken by the legislative bodies (the Council of the Republic of Belarus and the Senate of Kenya) will serve as the foundation for strengthening cooperation. The main goal of the visit is to develop ties between the parliaments and enhance our work. We see potential in inter-parliamentary interaction.”
