Bangladesh–Kenya relations refer to the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Kenya.

High level visits

Former Bangladesh Minister for Textiles and Jute, Abdul Latif Siddique paid an official visit to Nairobi in 2012.[1]

Agricultural cooperation

Kenya has been one of the desired destinations for Bangladesh to lease unused cultivable lands in order to ensure future food security. Kenya has also expressed its interest to lease out vast arable lands to Bangladesh. The lands will be used to grow rice and cottons.[2]

Economic relations

Bangladesh and Kenya have shown mutual interest in expanding bilateral trade and investments. Jute is a major product that Bangladesh has been exporting to Kenya.[3][4] Kenya has also been importing medicines from Bangladesh.[2] In 2012, a Bangladeshi delegation led by the Minister for Textiles and Jute paid a visit to Nairobi and held talks with several trade bodies and ministries of Kenya to explore potential ways for increasing economic activities between the two countries.[1]
