Foreign Affairs

Our foreign policy will protect Kenya's sovereignty, promote peace and security, strengthen diplomacy, expand international trade and investment, safeguard the interests of Kenyans abroad, and build strategic partnerships that advance national development. We believe diplomacy should create opportunities for every Kenyan by opening markets, attracting investment, promoting innovation, and strengthening Kenya's voice on the international stage. Kenya's Foreign Service is mandated to develop and coordinate foreign policy, protect national interests, strengthen international cooperation, promote peace and security, and safeguard the interests of Kenyans living abroad. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
