Kenya–Malaysia relations refers to bilateral foreign relations between Kenya and Malaysia. Kenya has maintained a resident Mission in Kuala Lumpur since in 1996. Malaysia opened a diplomatic Mission in Nairobi in 2005.[1]

History

As early as 1964, Malaysia dispatched Lee Kuan Yew on a diplomatic mission to Kenya in a successful effort to boost relations.[2] High level visits have continued into the 21st century. In 2007, the Malaysian prime minister at the time, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, met with Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki. Two memoranda of understanding were signed at the meeting, setting out an agreement for Malaysia to assist Kenya with infrastructure projects including road building.[3][4][5]

Economic relations

Levels of trade between the two countries are only moderate, with Malaysia exporting more to Kenya than the African nation exports in return.[3] In 2011, Kenyan Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka stated that his country was keen learn from Malaysia about ICT and infrastructure development.[6]

Travel

Kenyan nationals visiting Malaysia are not required to obtain travel visas.[1] On 26 November 2006, Port Klang Authority signed a sister-port agreement with Kenya Ports Authority.[7]
