John Tanui, Kenya’s principal secretary for the State Department of ICT and Digital Economy, met South Korea’s vice minister for Interior and Safety, Kim Min-jae, for the strategic discussions on deepening partnership and collaboration.
“Kenya greatly values the strong and longstanding partnership with the Republic of Korea, which continues to play a transformative role in advancing our nation’s digital and innovation agenda,” Tanui said.
He went on to say: “We further reaffirmed the significance of the Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology as one of the most significant success outcomes of Kenya-Korea cooperation.
