India and Kenya are connected by the Indian ocean. We both have strong maritime traditions. The MoU on defence cooperation signed just a while ago will improve institutional cooperation between our defence establishments.
President and I recognize that terrorism and the rapid spread of radical ideologies pose a common challenge to our people, our countries, our region and the whole world.
We also encourage the progress in the power line under the Indian line of credit to the tune of 60 million dollars. Kenya's highly successful geo thermal sector is something we would like to partner in.
I understand that health care is your Presidents key priority. India can join hands with your priorities to build an efficient and affordable healthcare system.
The multi-faceted development partnership is a key pillar of our bilateral relationship.
Our development priorities are more or less aligned. As a true partner, India is ready to help and assist Kenya in achieving its development objectives.

They said why is the PM talking about something so small. For years people have talked big from the Red Fort. I changed everything. I spoke about the common man.- Despite drought like situation for past two years, we have been able to project 7.6 % growth rate
- But we won't be stopping here, we have to attain 8% growth rate, for which we are taking various measures.
- I have visited so many countries but never have I heard any complaint from governments about Indians living in their countries
- The external affairs ministry has limited power to unite Indians. The real power lies in every Indian
- That is why when we talk about strengthening Africa-India ties, we also think of the well-being of the entire world
- You have made this land your own and are contributing to this nation's progress
- We hosted the India-Africa Summit where heads of state of African nations came to India
