Kisumu County is proud to announce the deepening of bilateral relations with the Government of the Republic of Korea, marking a significant step toward stronger cooperation in key sectors that will shape our region’s future.
In a landmark meeting hosted by Deputy Governor Hon. Mathew Owili, Kisumu warmly welcomed H.E. Kang Hyung-shik, Ambassador and UNEP Permanent Representative of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, for high-level discussions aimed at transforming shared vision into tangible, impactful partnerships.
Areas of Strategic Collaboration
The partnership will focus on advancing mutual development in several critical areas:
Health: Including the fast-tracked completion of the Cancer & Research Centre at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH).
Trade & Investment: Creating new avenues for economic exchange and business growth.
Education & Vocational Training: Enhancing skills development and learning infrastructure.
Agriculture & Fisheries: Promoting food security, aquaculture, and value chain development.
Sustainable Urban Development: Building smarter, greener, and more resilient urban spaces.
Building on a Foundation of Innovation
This collaboration builds on Kisumu’s growing reputation as a regional hub for innovation and forward-thinking development. Earlier this year, Kisumu successfully hosted the Africa Smart Cities Alliance (ASCA), reinforcing our position as a leader in smart infrastructure and sustainable urban solutions. This momentum makes Kisumu a natural and strategic partner for Korea’s global development ambitions.
A Unified Commitment
The engagement underscored a shared commitment to practical, results-oriented cooperation that delivers measurable benefits for both Kisumu and Korea.
The discussions were attended by key Kisumu County leaders, including:
