"We both called for an immediate ceasefire and respect for #HumanRights, and we asked countries undermining Sudan's peace and stability to stop immediately," CS Mutua said on Twitter.
"We also agreed to help each other with the evacuation of our citizens."
At the same time, Mutua added that the Kenya-Canada relationship would allow Kenyans to work in Canada while also opening up mutual investment potential for both countries.
He added that they are already adjusting their TVET curriculum to meet the Canadian labour market so that Kenyan graduates will be able to qualify for immediate placement in Canada and that they are eager not only to attract Canadian investors to Kenya but also to open up the Canadian market for Kenyan value-added products.
We are keen to not only attract 🇨🇦 investors to 🇰🇪 but also open up the 🇨🇦 market for value added products from 🇰🇪.
