Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs Korir Sing’Oei has this week met the organising committee and other stakeholders preparing for the inaugural Africa–Forward Summit, scheduled to be held in Kenya on May 11–12, 2026.

In a statement, the Ministry said the committee, led by Ambassador Ogutu, briefed Sing’Oei on the progress made so far and highlighted areas requiring closer coordination ahead of the event.

Sing’Oei called for strong inter-agency collaboration, clear communication and timely execution to ensure seamless delivery of the summit.

The Africa–Forward Summit is expected to bring together more than 2,000 delegates, including Heads of State and Government, alongside leaders from the private sector, civil society, NGOs and youth groups.

According to the ministry, the summit will feature a Business Forum aimed at advancing trade, investment and innovation partnerships between Africa and France, as well as platforms for inclusive civil society engagement.

Sing’Oei said preparations should reflect Kenya’s capacity to host a world-class event “with precision, efficiency and excellence.”
