Kenya and Korea on Wednesday reached a deal to mutually recognise certificates held by seafarers from their respective territories as Nairobi pushes for opportunities in the maritime industry.
The deal was agreed on after President William Ruto met with his Korean counterpart Lee Jae Myung on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Évian, France. It is meant to allow seafarers to require no additional certification to operate on ships reaching South Korea. Kenya is to provide the same legal regime to Korean seafarers.
