Georgia–Kenya relations

|
Georgia-Kenya relations are the bilateral relations between Georgia and Kenya. Neither country has a resident ambassador. History The diplomatic relations between Georgia and Kenya started on 2 June 2010. However, informal ties date back as early as October 2004, when Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania visited Kenya to participate in an international anti-corruption conference and meet with Kenyan officials. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, the main basis of the two countries' relations is economic cooperation. Georgia and Kenya have been limited partners in the global fight against terrorism. In January 2012, Georgian sailors taken hostage by Somali pirates in the Red Sea were freed with Kenya acting as an intermediate. Georgia condemned the 2015 terrorist attack on Garissa University that killed 150, as well as the January 2019 attacks in Nairobi that killed 21 people. Georgia stated its open support for Kenya's anti-terrorist policies. In 2016, Kenyan musicians were among the international artists to participate in an international music festival in Georgia's Marneuli Municipality. See Also
