Held a meeting with the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Kenya, H.E Kang Hyung-Shik as a follow-up to my recent visit to the Republic of Korea, to advance discussions on areas of strategic KenyaโKorea cooperation.
At the centre of our discussions was the digital transformation of Kenyaโs museums and heritage institutions, with a strong focus on digitisation and the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We explored how AI and emerging technologies can support the digital documentation, preservation and management of heritage collections, while creating more interactive, accessible and immersive visitor experiences.
We also discussed opportunities for cultural exchange and creative industry collaboration, including knowledge and skills exchange that can strengthen Kenyaโs creative economy.
On women and children, discussions explored cooperation in womenโs empowerment, child protection, child online safety, children and conservation, exchange programmes, and parenting and family-support initiatives.
