Kenya is deepening its engagement with the Republic of Angola on the agenda of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), through the Kenya Embassy in Luanda led by H.E. Amb. Joyce Khasimwa Mmaitsi.
Angola has historically played a central role in SADC's peace, security and political affairs architecture, including through the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), where Luanda has hosted critical mediation processes. The Embassy is coordinating Kenya's engagement on these tracks, given Kenya's own active role in East African Community (EAC) and African Union (AU) peace and security processes. The Embassy is also working to align Kenyan and Angolan positions on continental priorities — including the operationalisation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), climate action, and African representation in global governance — in support of the African Union's Agenda 2063.
