Kenya and Russia have established a strategic cooperation framework aimed at fostering youth diplomacy, cultural ties and knowledge exchange between the two nations. This framework, signed during the International Festival of Youth 2026 in Yekaterinburg, was the result of a bilateral engagement process that began in September 2025.
Head of the Kenyan Delegation and Kenya Project Office to WYFD, Richard Kakunga, emphasized that this partnership recognizes young people as active participants in shaping international cooperation. The framework includes Strategic Dialogue and Knowledge Exchange Platforms, focusing on intellectual engagement, policy awareness and meaningful youth participation in international cooperation.
Other key objectives include people-to-people diplomacy and youth-led institutional, cultural and civic engagement. Thematic areas include historical relations, geopolitical transformations, youth in diplomacy, governance and innovation, digital diplomacy, climate security and sustainability, peacebuilding and resilience, and cultural diplomacy. The framework is expected to run until December 31, 2029.
