Sumario:Recent progress in the field of rare kaon decays will be described. A brief summary of future experimental activities will also be given. Among the highlights, the improved upper limit on $K_{L} \to \pi^{0}e^{+}e^{-}$, and the first observation of the $K_{S} \to \pi^{0}e^{+}e^{-}$ are presented. A precise measurement of $K_{S} \to \gamma\gamma$ and high statistics studies of the Dalitz kaon decays have recently been reported and will be briefly described. (74 refs).
