Ethiopia and Kenya renewed their Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA), the first since 1963, to strengthen regional security and prosperity. Signed in Addis Ababa by ENDF Chief Field Marshal Berhanu Jula and KDF Chief Lt. Gen. Charles Kahariri, the pact enhances interoperability, intelligence sharing, joint training, and counter-terrorism operations. Both countries said the agreement promotes African self-reliance, builds bilateral trust, and supports peace and stability across the Horn of Africa and East Africa.
