The two security ministers discussed the progress of the Kenya-UK Security Compact.
According to a brief from Dr Matiangi's office, the high-level security dialogue was also attended by the Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the UN at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon.
The Interior CS highlighted the January Dusit D2 Al Shabaab attack citing that Kenya's security forces had managed the incident professionally.
"The ministers said cooperation (between Kenya and United Kingdom) has led to successes ranging from improved response to security threats to bursting the smuggling (of) luxury SUVs through Mombasa," the statement from Matiangi's office read in part.
