Finnish President Alexander Stubb is set to continue his state visit to Kenya today, marking the second day of his three-day official trip. As part of his packed schedule, Stubb is expected to engage with key local and international stakeholders, discussing vital topics surrounding regional dynamics and social development.
The morning will kick off with a series of meetings between President Stubb and representatives of local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as foreign policy experts. The discussions will center on the evolving political and social landscapes in the region, with a focus on collaborative efforts to address challenges in East Africa.
A significant highlight of today’s visit will be the President’s speech at the University of Nairobi. Here, Stubb will engage with students on the topic of geopolitics and the shifting nature of the multilateral order. The event promises to be an insightful session, allowing the President to share his perspectives on the global stage while also fostering dialogue with the younger generation about the importance of international relations in an increasingly interconnected world.
Following his university visit, President Stubb will attend the closing ceremony of the EU-Kenya Business Forum, where he is expected to deliver a keynote address. The forum, which was officially opened by President William Ruto on Monday, focuses on enhancing economic ties between Kenya and European Union member states. The forum is expected to generate constructive discussions on trade and investment opportunities between the two regions.
Additionally, President Stubb will take part in a business seminar hosted by Business Finland, aimed at exploring potential opportunities in Kenya’s built environment and health sectors. The event is expected to encourage further collaboration between Finnish businesses and Kenyan counterparts, offering insights into innovative solutions for the future of these sectors.
Accompanied by his spouse, Suzanne Innes-Stubb, and a delegation of key Finnish government officials, President Stubb’s visit underscores Finland’s commitment to strengthening diplomatic and economic ties with Kenya.
