The Speaker promised to ensure the good relations between the parliaments of Kenya and Turkey continue to exist for the next five years for the mutual good of the citizens of the two nations.

Wetang'ula requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to furnish his office with details on the bilateral agreements that had been entered into by Kenya and Turkey that required ratification by the National Assembly that had been noted by the Ambassador.

"The 10th Parliament saw a milestone in the establishment of a Parliamentary Caucus between our two legislatures in order to enhance the parliamentary relations which is a clear indicator that Kenya and Turkey have enjoyed good relations over the years," he said.

The Speaker said MPs from the two countries should be encouraged to carry out benchmarking so as to learn from each other's experiences.
