Kenya and Malaysia are celebrating 60 years of diplomatic relations, marked by growing cooperation in trade, education, and global policy. A significant step forward is anticipated with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's first official visit to Kenya in November.

• A key focus of this partnership is an ambitious housing collaboration, with Malaysia's expertise supporting Kenya's goal of building 200,000 affordable housing units.
• The upcoming visit will be only the second to Kenya by a Malaysian head of government since 2007, signaling Malaysia's renewed interest in Africa.
• Beyond economic ties, shared interests in areas like education, cultural exchange, tourism, and multilateral platforms like the Commonwealth and UN-Habitat strengthen the enduring relationship.
