German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is embarking on a three-day trip to Ethiopia and Kenya to engage in discussions on pressing issues in the region. In Ethiopia, he plans to meet with government officials and leaders from the Tigray region to assess progress in achieving peace following a prolonged conflict. He will also engage with the African Union Commission Chairperson to address developments in Sudan, economic partnerships, and climate change. In Kenya, Scholz will meet with the president to discuss trade relations and other matters. One significant aspect of the visit is the focus on green hydrogen cooperation, with a visit planned to Africa's largest geothermal plant in Lake Naivasha. The trip aims to highlight Kenya's efforts in renewable energy and its potential in green hydrogen production. While concrete agreements on green hydrogen cooperation are not expected during the visit, a forum will be held by the German development agency GIZ to further explore this area. The visit underscores the importance of collaboration on renewable energy and showcases Kenya's advancements in climate protection.
