Kenya has emphasized the crucial role of diaspora communities in national development, beyond the contribution of remittances, during the Global Armenian Summit 2026 in Yerevan, Armenia. State Department for Diaspora Affairs Principal Secretary, Roseline Njogu, speaking at a high-level panel discussion, highlighted that the diaspora is a reservoir of skills, expertise, innovation, investment, and global networks.
Njogu underscored that trust is the foundation of meaningful diaspora engagement and showcased Kenya's initiatives to strengthen diaspora participation. These initiatives include policy formulation, inclusion in democratic processes, Mobile Consular Services, evacuation and repatriation of citizens in times of crisis, and access to government services through the eCitizen platform.
Kenya's commitment to this cause is further demonstrated by the Kenya–Armenia Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation in Diaspora Affairs, signed in Nairobi on June 18, 2026.
