Kenyan High Commissioner to Pakistan Mishi Masika Mwatsahu highlighted the need to improve bilateral cooperation between the two countries in agricultural research and trade. She was a guest during the Spring Festival at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF). She said with stronger ties, the two countries could learn useful lessons on the various challenges they face. In addition, the Commissioner opined that  farmers and consumers in both countries would benefit from joint research projects in agriculture, the former by boosting their incomes and the latter by getting better-quality food products.

The Kenyan High Commissioner praised the UAF for giving equal access to education to women. She was told that women students were of 40 percent of the total enrollment at the university. The majority of these women belonged to rural areas and families that were engaged in agriculture.
