Kenya and Hungary on Monday signed four bilateral agreements for cooperation in health, water, education, and diplomacy sectors. The agreements were signed at State House, Nairobi shortly after President Uhuru Kenyatta and his visiting Hungarian counterpart János Áder led their respective delegations in bilateral talks.

The agreement on health covers human resource capacity building, information sharing, and prevention of diseases including COVID-19. The pact on education will double the number of Kenyans receiving Hungarian government scholarships from the current 100 to 200 annually while the agreement on water covers wastewater management among other related aspects.

Kenya and Hungary also signed a memorandum of understanding on diplomatic training and information exchange that will see the two countries collaborate in the training of diplomats. At a joint press address shortly after witnessing the signing of the agreements, President Kenyatta hailed Hungary as one of Kenya’s strongest bilateral partners in Europe saying the country was the sixth foreign nation to set up a diplomatic presence in Kenya in 1964.

To cement the strong bilateral ties crafted over the last five decades and fulfill its strategic desire to have more presence in Central and Eastern Europe, President Kenyatta announced Kenya’s plan to set up a diplomatic mission in Budapest and thanked his Hungarian counterpart for his Government’s decision to double the number of scholarships offered to Kenyan students saying the decision will further deepen the Kenya-Hungary bilateral ties.

“I am glad that your administration has offered to double Hungarian Government Scholarships given to Kenyan Students annually from the current 100 to 200 opportunities. We thank you and your administration for the kind gesture which will not only help strengthen our people-to-people collaboration but also enhance our two countries’ cooperation within the wider Kenya-European Union partnership,” President Kenyatta said.

On trade and investment cooperation, President Kenyatta said Kenya’s desire was to see more private sector involvement and thanked the Hungarian Government for a 50 million US dollar support given to the country’s health, agriculture, education, and water sectors.

The Kenyan leader also spoke about regional peace and security saying Kenya will continue leading efforts to attain stability in its neighborhood.

“Regional peace and security is at the top of our foreign policy and therefore, Kenya will continue being an anchor state and guarantor of processes to end armed conflicts and attain political stability in our region,” he said.

At the same time, President Kenyatta urged Hungary to help unlock the outstanding Economic Partnership Agreement between the East African Community (EAC) and the European Union (EU).

Speaking through a translator, the visiting Hungarian leader announced his country’s commitment to continue supporting Kenya’s development agenda and thanked President Kenyatta for the warm reception.

“I would like to express my gratitude to the President for this cordial warm welcome and I wish you personally and all the people of Kenya a lot of success in your endeavors to overcome this ravaging pandemic,” President Ader said.

Earlier, President Kenyatta and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta received the visiting Hungarian leader and his spouse Anita Herczegh at State House, Nairobi in an elaborate state reception that included a 21-gun salute and a guard of honor mounted by a detachment of the Kenya Air Force.
