Closer ties have been forged between Barbados and Kenya,
following the recent visit by Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley,
Q.C., M.P., to the African country to meet with Kenyan President
Uhuru Kenyatta.
The two leaders signed three Memoranda of Understanding and made
concrete plans for further collaboration. Plans will include
officials from both countries visiting each other in January, such
as the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya and officials of the
Securities Exchange Commission, to finalise matters relating to
cooperation and regulation that would pave the way for Kenyan
financial institutions to invest in Barbados.
Other plans will include a student exchange programme between
the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus and two Kenyan
universities, University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University, which
will allow Barbadian student doctors to intern there, while Kenyan
students would intern in Barbados. Plans are also in the works
relative to business
