In his tweet, Dr. Jaishankar further emphasized India’s commitment to stand with Kenya during these difficult times, referencing earlier assistance as a testament to the longstanding partnership between the two nations.
Earlier, the first batch of relief materials were delivered to the country last week.
This initiative is part of India’s continued efforts to assist countries affected by natural disasters and emergencies.
For instance, the Indian naval ship INS Sumedha was the first responder in the Indian Ocean region, successfully delivering food, relief, and medical supplies to Kenya to aid flood victims.
