Recognizing Pakistan's robust border management system, Mr. Bitok expressed Kenya's eagerness to learn and incorporate best practices that will foster a more secure and efficient framework for managing migrant movement. The Pakistani delegation, led by Khushal Khan, Additional Secretary from the Ministry of Interior of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, welcomed this collaborative approach.
Previously, the delegation met with Principal Secretary and National Administration Raymond Omolo to gain insights into Kenya's integrated border management strategy. During that meeting, they expressed particular interest in understanding the technological framework and business processes underlying Kenya's new visa-free entry system.
This week-long strategic tour, facilitated by the Border Management Secretariat and the International Organization for Migration, provides valuable opportunities for knowledge exchange and capacity building in effective border management practices.
