"Chad and Kenya are united by a shared commitment to African integration, regional security, and the prosperity of our peoples."
Overview
The Republic of Chad and the Republic of Kenya maintain warm and constructive bilateral relations built on mutual respect and shared continental values. Both nations are active members of the African Union and are committed to the goals of Agenda 2063 — Africa's blueprint for inclusive growth and sustainable development.
