Kenya and Netherlands are set to deepen their bilateral relations during the upcoming state visit of His Majesty King Willem-Alexander and Her Majesty Queen Máxima beginning Tuesday.
The King and her Majesty Queen are expected to land at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) at 8:30 am and will be received by Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe.
Dutch state visit follows an invitation by President William Ruto marking their first state visit to Kenya.
Their first state visit to Kenya reaffirms the good relations and solid cooperation between the two countries. The Netherlands seeks to engage in new partnerships in various areas and to deepen the countries’ existing ties.
The Netherlands and Kenya maintain close economic relations and both are major hubs and gateways to large regions.
Within the UN and other international organisations, the two countries work together actively towards goals relating to democracy, the rule of law, and independence of the judiciary.
