Kenya and Nigeria Navy have deepened and cemented collaboration on a quest for a safer maritime domain for both countries.
The two Navies are also aiming at opening new opportunities to further the frontiers of cooperation between the two countries thus improving the existing bilateral relationship.
This is after a Nigeria Navy Ship (NNS) Kada paid a port of call to the port of Mombasa on her maiden voyage from Lagos, Nigeria, to the United Arab Emirates through several ports.
Nigeria Chief of the Naval Staff Rear Admiral Yakubu Wambai led a delegation from the Landing Ship Tank on Tuesday in paying a courtesy call on Commander Kenya Navy Major General Jimson Mutai at the Kenya Navy Headquarters Mtongwe, Mombasa.
Port calls are a show of diplomacy amongst navies to reinforce efforts of actualizing the objectives of a Naval-centric cooperation mechanism.
Present during the courtesy call were representative of the High Commissioner Nigerian Embassy to Kenya Dr. John Amondu, Commanding Officer of NNS Kada Navy Captain Reginald Adoki and the Kenya Navy Formation Commanders.
