SKM THE 6TH.🇰🇪 #KOMBOAKENYA2027 ##TUKOKADI This evening, we joined fellow leaders and members of the diplomatic corps at a farewell cocktail in honour of Ambassadors H.E. Mr. Christian Fellner of Austria, H.E. Mr. Peter Maddens of Belgium, H.E. Mr. Savvas Vladimirou of Cyprus, H.E. Mr. Arnaud Suquet of France, and H.E. Mrs. Henriette Geiger of the European Union, as they mark the conclusion of their distinguished service in Kenya. The occasion offered a meaningful moment to recognise their contribution to strengthening the bonds of friendship, cooperation, and mutual respect between Kenya and their respective countries and institutions. We pay special tribute to H.E. Mrs. Henriette Geiger as she concludes her assignment, marking the culmination of an accomplished diplomatic career. Her service has left a lasting imprint on Kenya’s partnership with the European Union. For me, this moment also carries a personal dimension. Having served as Minister for Foreign Affairs and as Vice President, I have had the honour of engaging closely with the diplomatic community and strengthening Kenya’s relations with many of the countries represented here today. I also share a special connection with my good friends from Cyprus, where I studied, further strengthened through my service as Honorary Consul General of Cyprus to Kenya since 2014. These experiences reflect the enduring value of diplomacy and the strong people to people ties that continue to unite our nations. As they take up new assignments and embrace new chapters, we extend our sincere appreciation for their service and wish them every success ahead, confident that the friendships and partnerships forged will continue to flourish.
