Hosted, on a courtesy visit, Ms. Nomagugu Ncube, Chief of Mission of International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Kenya, where we reviewed our long-standing partnership in advancing coordinated border management, migration governance and transnational crime prevention through the Border Control and Operations Coordination Committee (BCOCC) and the Border Management Secretariat.
IOM's support has been instrumental in policy and legal reforms, development of strategic and operational frameworks, deployment of ICT systems including the National Secure Online Border Communication System, establishment of Joint Operation Centres at key entry points and capacity building of frontline officers, alongside community engagement and regional cooperation initiatives.
We aligned on priority areas shaping our next phase of collaboration, including counter-terrorism, addressing border porosity and irregular migration and accelerating digital transformation through biometrics and smart border systems.
