The Kenya-Somalia-Ethiopia Borderlands Project aims to promote peace and stability in the region and boost cross border cooperation.
Delegates from the three Countries attended a High Level meeting in Mandera County on border security.
The Kenyan delegation was led by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Cabinet Secretary for the Interior and National Administration Kithure Kindiki.
Representatives from Ethiopia and Somalia were also in attendance.
British High Commissioner to Kenya Jane Marriot also attended.
The Project is a joint venture with support from the UK Government and aims to promote peace and stability in the region and bolster cross-border cooperation.
Kindiki said the project is opportune as the region grapples with complex and sensitive security challenges, that include terrorism and illicit trade.
He said the help and support from the UK will enable the region deal with these complex security challenges.
“The Security Compact signed between Kenya and the UK on Wednesday 10th May 2023 is subject to involvement and consultation with our neighboring countries; Ethiopia and Somalia, to ensure no one is left behind” he said.
