The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
Malaysia's 68th Independence Day celebrations at the JW Marriott Hotel in Nairobi on Sunday also doubled as a moment of reflection for the six-decade relationship between Kenya and Malaysia. Since establishing diplomatic ties in 1965, the two nations have built a partnership spanning trade, education, culture, and global cooperation.
That relationship is set to take a significant step forward later this year when Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim makes his first official visit to Kenya in November. His trip will be part of a broader Sub-Saharan Africa tour that includes Ethiopia and South Africa. It will also mark only the second visit to Kenya by a Malaysian head of government since Prime Minister Abdullah bin Ahmad Badawi's trip in 2007, underlining Malaysia's renewed interest in Africa.
