Kenya and Grenada have taken a major step toward strengthening bilateral relations following the appointment of a new Honorary Consul for Grenada in Nairobi.
The appointment comes after talks between President William Ruto and Grenadian Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell during the Africa–CARICOM Summit held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in September 2025, where both leaders pledged to expand cooperation between African and Caribbean nations.
Speaking during the presentation of credentials, Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, Musalia Mudavadi said the appointment reflects the growing partnership between Kenya and Grenada and a shared commitment to sustainable development, economic growth and stronger international cooperation.
Mudavadi said the two countries are seeking to deepen collaboration in key sectors including trade and investment, tourism, education, financial services, climate resilience, the blue economy, agriculture and renewable energy.
He noted that the new Honorary Consul will play a central role in promoting bilateral ties, attracting investment and facilitating cooperation in strategic areas such as financial technology (FinTech), digital innovation, geothermal energy, climate action, tourism, cultural exchange and food security.
According to Mudavadi, the strengthened partnership is expected to open new markets for Kenyan businesses, attract investment, create employment opportunities and enhance people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
The establishment of Grenada’s Honorary Consulate in Kenya is also expected to boost public and private sector partnerships while strengthening links between Africa and the Caribbean.
The Kenyan government reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with the Government of Grenada and the Honorary Consulate to promote investment, innovation and economic cooperation for the mutual benefit of both nations.
