While the #AfricaForward Summit 2026 is a gathering of leaders and decision-makers, it is a perfect opportunity to experience the full breadth of what Nairobi and @MagicalKenya have to offer.
Delegates and high-level guests attending the Summit can look forward to the warmth of Kenyan hospitality, a rich and diverse cultural offering, and the extraordinary natural environment that surrounds the city, including the iconic Nairobi National Park.
The Summit programme also features Africa Forward Le Concert - a high-level, invite-only showcase of Africa's finest creative talent, convening artists from across the continent for an exceptional cultural experience. The concert reflects the Summit's broader vision: that alongside diplomacy and business, the arts and culture are powerful instruments for building bridges, breaking barriers, and fostering genuine human connection.
Join us on 11th โ 12th May 2026 in Nairobi and experience all this more of Kenya's magical moments.

Led by Ambassador Ogutu, the Committee briefed him on progress made and outlined areas requiring closer coordination ahead of the inaugural event.
PS SingโOei stressed the need for strong inter-agency collaboration, clear communication, and timely execution to ensure seamless delivery.
The Summit is expected to convene over 2,000 delegates, including Heads of State and Government, alongside leaders from the private sector, civil society, NGOs, and youth.
It will feature a Business Forum to advance trade, investment, and innovation partnerships between Africa and France, as well as platforms for inclusive civil society engagement.
The PS underscored that preparations must reflect Kenyaโs ability to deliver a world-class event with precision, efficiency, and excellence.
After the great fire of London which consumed 80% of the city, measures were put in place to ensure that it would never happen again. That included switching to use of brick instead of timber to build. This was back in the year 1666
In 2011, Tsunami hit Japan. Thereafter they put a 395km long coastal protection featuring a 15m high concrete wall.
In 2016, Nairobi experienced ravaging floods that led to loss of lives. The governor said sorry and life went on. This week, floods happened again and the government didnโt hesitate to say sorry. We blamed the heavy rains. We are moving on.
Even animals learn!
We are following with deep concern the evolving situation in the Middle East and are in close communication with our diplomatic Missions. We urge Kenyans in the region to exercise caution. We stand in solidarity with countries calling for de-escalation and a return to UN Charter based mechanisms for resolving matters in dispute. @ForeignOfficeKE
