The French invited the two Kenyan officers onboard to illustrate the European desire to enlarge key cooperation areas with Kenya in Operation ATALANTA.

The two Kenyan officers were warmly welcomed by the EU NAVFOR frigate’s crew and they were invited to attend all activities, including briefs, in order to get a better knowledge of European working methods.

The commanding officer of FS LA FAYETTE believes this kind of exchanges facilitates good cooperation for the future.
