Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Kenyan Cabinet Secretary for Defense Aden Bare Duale held official consultations in New Delhi on Tuesday.
India’s state-owned Goa Shipyard Limited and Kenya Shipyard Limited, a government-backed company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the field of capacity building and expand cooperation in ship-design and construction, an Indian defense ministry statement said on Tuesday.
It said that New Delhi has also “gifted” 15 parachute pairs to Nairobi, besides committing support to establish an “advanced CT scan facility” in Kenya.
The statement was released after talks between Indian defense minister Rajnath Singh and Kenyan Cabinet Defense Secretary Aden Bare Duale.
The statement underlined that the meeting was a “testimony to increasing depth in the India-Kenya defence partnership”.
“Both the ministers agreed that the defense relationship between the two countries has evolved from being training-centric to include more strategic aspects,” it said.
The defense ministry stated that both sides agreed for the need for greater cooperation in maritime security in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).
Both the ministers also agreed for “joint training in
counter-insurgency and United Nations (UN) peacekeeping domains. "
