On 11th and 12th May, Nairobi will become the meeting point of Africa’s voice, ambition and future as Kenya hosts the Africa Forward Summit.

Today, I officially received the symbolic ceremonial key of the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), marking Kenya’s full readiness to host this landmark continental gathering.

The handover, led by KICC Chief Executive Officer James Mwaura through Cabinet Secretary @rebecca_miano, formally transferred operational responsibility of the venue to my office and to H.E. @arnaud_suquet, Ambassador of France to Kenya temporarily, as co-hosts of the Summit.

I commend the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, KICC management and staff, the Summit Secretariat, our French partners, security agencies, protocol and technical teams, and all institutions that have worked tirelessly over the past months to prepare for this historic moment.

Kenya is ready. Africa is ready. 🌍🇰🇪

Understanding the shifting global strategic environment is essential to shaping effective and forward-looking foreign policy.

This morning, I had the privilege of delivering a lecture at the National Defence College Nairobi, to the participants of Course 28 of 2025-2026 on Kenya’s Foreign Policy in the Contemporary Strategic Environment.

Our discussion drew on insights from leading thinkers as we examined the complexity of today’s international system, the rise of regional blocs, and evolving power dynamics.

We also reflected on Africa’s position, its challenges, including debt vulnerability, climate risks, and access to capital, alongside its immense potential driven by demographics and natural resources. The East African Community continues to demonstrate meaningful progress towards regional integration.

Kenya remains committed to proactive global engagement, shaping outcomes on climate action, technology, and multilateral cooperation.

Proud of the great work by the NDC under Lt. Gen Mwinyikai, the Commandant and Ambassador Simon Nabukwesi (the Civilian Assistant Commandant).

Delighted to host H.E. Jenny Da Rin, High Commissioner of Australia. Our partnership has reached new heights following the successful 60th-anniversary commemorations in both Nairobi and Canberra last year. Through the Senior Officials Talks (SOTs) framework, we remain committed to deepening cooperation in strategic areas, particularly climate action, food security, hospitality and mining, among others. We are confident that the presence of AuSTRADE office in Nairobi will further expand Kenya-Australia trade.

Our vibrant diaspora of over 23,000 Kenyans in Australia, 8,500 of whom are students, strengthens our people-to-people ties. @ForeignOfficeKE
