Dr. Adarsh Swaika, the High Commissioner of India, at the Commission’s premises in Nairobi. The meeting reaffirmed the strong strategic partnership existing between MRPC and HCI and explored avenues for continued collaboration. Further discussions centered on leveraging MRPC’s research expertise to strengthen regional resilience, aligning with India’s vision of Eastern Africa as its “extended neighborhood” and a critical pillar of its leadership in the Global South.
