The Chief of the Defence Forces (CDF), General Charles Kahariri, today held bilateral talks with the United Kingdom’s Chief of Joint Operations, Air Marshal Allan Paul Marshall, focusing on expanding the longstanding Kenya–UK defence partnership and identifying new areas of strategic military cooperation.
Strategic defence partnerships, technological innovation and military interoperability remain critical to confronting evolving security threats and preparing armed forces for the complexities of modern warfare. As the operational environment becomes increasingly technology-driven, Kenya and the United Kingdom are advancing military cooperation to enhance combat readiness, develop future capabilities and address shared security challenges.
The discussions reaffirmed the importance of sustained collaboration in counter-terrorism, maritime security and military training, which remain central to the defence relationship between the two nations.
