Kenya and Britain agreed on Tuesday to resume joint military training exercises at the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK) following a period of dialogue between the two governments.

The resumption follows delays in signing a new defense cooperation agreement. Those delays were largely attributed to concerns raised by Kenyan legislators regarding the protection of communities living near the training sites.

The agreement marks a renewed commitment to the longstanding defense partnership between the United Kingdom and the East African nation.
