Germany and Kenya pledged to strengthen cooperation on climate protection, green energy and the exchange of workers after talks between Chancellor Olaf Scholz and President William Ruto in Nairobi.
At a joint news conference, Ruto announced that Kenya will join a “Climate Club” established last year by the Group of Seven and said his government intended “to be a robust player in that space.” Scholz told a panel discussion that talks on increased access for Kenyan farm products to the European Union have “reached very far” and that he supports promoting local fertilizer production to lessen dependence on “one or two countries in the world.”
