Awarded charters to the Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) universities at State House Nairobi.

This is part of a deliberate and strategic step in expanding opportunities for higher learning, scientific research, and innovation in Kenya.

The future we are building is driven by quality education, homegrown innovation, and continuous research. Universities play a central role in training the scientists, engineers, doctors, and innovators who will not only expand local horizons of knowledge, drive national transformation and address our challenges, but also make valuable contributions in diverse spheres globally.

We call on African governments, investors and financiers to join forces in advancing the green industrialisation and energy transition agenda in our continent.

Governments must remove the bottlenecks on the way to green industrialisation by providing efficient permits, and enabling predictable policy and a conducive environment for investment.

On their part, financiers must make investments affordable and accessible while businesspeople must provide clarity on what they are prepared to invest, build, buy, and timelines for delivery.

Together, we can build Africa into a competitive industrial powerhouse that drives inclusive growth, advances climate action, and shared prosperity for generations to come.

Co-chaired the Green Industrialisation and Energy Transition Session of the Africa Forward Summit with President Emmanuel Macron of France, at Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Nairobi.

The Africa Forward Summit presents a unique opportunity for Africa and France to forge a forward-looking partnership that delivers shared progress while advancing the continent's long-term economic transformation.

We are clear on what we must achieve to unlock Africa’s vast potential and drive transformation. This includes domestic mobilisation of resources for Africa’s development at scale, reform of the international financial architecture, development of transport, and logistics and connectivity infrastructure.

Others are energy transition and green industrialisation, and youth skills development to foster creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and AI-driven transformation.

The times before us demand strong cooperation, renewed multilateralism and partnerships grounded not in hierarchy, but mutual respect and shared responsibility.

It is in this spirit that we convened this summit in our shared conviction that enduring partnerships must not be built on dependence but on sovereign equity, not on aid or charity but mutually beneficial investments, and not on extraction or exploitation but on win-win engagements.

During the opening of the Africa Forward Summit at KICC, Nairobi, co-chaired with President Emmanuel Macron of France.

Present were Presidents Paul Kagame (Rwanda), Alassane Ouattara (Côte d’Ivoire), Abdel Fattah el-Sisi (Egypt), Faustin-Archange Touadéra (Central African Republic), Azali Assoumani (Comoros), Mohamed Ould Ghazouani (Mauritania), Mohamed al-Menfi (Libya), and King Letsie III (Lesotho).

Also present are Hakainde Hichilema (Zambia), Mamady Doumbouya (Guinea), Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Nigeria), Joseph Boakai (Liberia), Bassirou Diomaye Faye (Senegal), Mahamat Idriss Déby (Chad), Duma Boko (Botswana), Dharambeer Gokhool (Mauritius), John Dramani Mahama (Ghana), Daniel Chapo (Mozambique), and Michael Randrianirina (Madagascar), Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (Ethiopia), and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

Others are Prime Ministers Aziz Akhannouch (Morocco), Russell Dlamini (Eswatini), Américo Ramos (São Tomé and Príncipe) Sara Zaafarani Zenzri (Tunisia), Mwigulu Nchemba (Tanzania), and African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf.

Vice-Presidents, ambassadors, heads of delegations, country representatives and development partners, among others, also attended the summit.

We are taking deliberate steps to strengthen our pharmaceutical ecosystem. This includes enhancing the capacity of our National Regulatory Authority to achieve World Health Organisation Maturity Level 3, thereby reinforcing global confidence in the quality, safety, and efficacy of Kenyan manufactured products.

Our goal is to position Kenya as a regional hub for pharmaceutical manufacturing, health innovation, and medical supply chains, serving both the Kenyan and the wider African markets.

This ambition is reinforced by our strategic position as the gateway to Eastern Africa’s fast-growing economic bloc, supported by a strong and expanding domestic market, world-class logistics, and a dynamic investment environment.

Addressed the Africa Initiative for Medical Access and Manufacturing (AIM2030) meeting ahead of the opening of the Africa Forward Summit, Nairobi.

Called on African governments to fully implement commitments on regulatory harmonisation, market integration and industrial policy in order to unlock Africa's manufacturing potential.

We are investing in our youth to ensure they remain competitive in an ever-evolving technological landscape. By reforming our education system, we are empowering young people to keep pace with global trends in science and technology, positioning them as creators and innovators rather than mere consumers.

To advance this vision, we are partnering with France in building the University of Nairobi Science and Engineering Complex. This facility will be a premier research hub for both Kenya and the region.

Together with President Emmanuel Macron, we engaged with innovators at the University of Nairobi as part of the Africa Forward Summit.

Our youth are the present and the future, and we are committed to laying the supportive foundation they need to transform their ideas into solutions for our diverse challenges.

Art is more than just expression of talent. It provides a unique platform for cultural exchange, connecting people from diverse backgrounds through shared appreciation of history and heritage.

France and Kenya boast incredible creative talent, which was on display at the University of Nairobi Art Exhibition. It was an honour to tour the exhibition alongside President Emmanuel Macron.

As we continue to grow our economic partnership, we are equally focused on deepening our cultural ties and people-to-people interactions.
