HC Deb 29 February 1996 vol 272 cc643-4W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what actions Her Majesty's Government intend to take to improve the relationship between the United Kingdom and Kenya. [17101]

Mr. Hanley

The United Kingdom has long-standing and deep-rooted links with Kenya, one of our most significant partners in Africa. The bilateral relationship spans wide-ranging areas of activity, many of them outside the framework of Government contacts. We maintain a close dialogue with the Kenyan authorities, one objective of which is to strengthen bilateral relations.
