Kenia and Djibouti
Kenya and Djibouti maintain warm and enduring diplomatic relations anchored in mutual respect, shared strategic interests and robust people-to-people connections. Formal diplomatic ties were established on 27 June 1977, following Djibouti’s independence, and have since deepened through sustained political dialogue, high-level visits and expanding cooperation across multiple sectors.
