My mission to Kenya is coming to an end after 4 years. I am happy that my last moments as a French ambassador were spent with President Ruto confirming the strength of our relationship and the dedication on our bilateral projects. Asante sana! Kwaheri Kenya!
A sunny day at the UNON compound. Glad to learn that @unvisitorsnbi will resume their in-person tours starting next month. Guided tours are also available in French ! Venez nombreux partager l'histoire du site qui héberge @UNEP et @UNHABITAT avec Pierre votre guide francophone.
As the Language Assistants leave for France to teach English in various schools across France, I met KevinLee who will be teaching in #Besancon, my home town. He’s looking forward to the experience and I wish him and all the other young Kenyans, the best of luck in their programs
Happy to participate to the swearing-in of president @WilliamsRuto together with Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, french minister for development. What a cheerful event!
This first conversation between the President-elect of Kenya and the President de la République Française is a good start for the continuation and renforcement of the bilateral relationship between Kenya and France and a strong incentive for the Embassy to pursue its work. Merci!
Very positive discussions between @EmmanuelMacron and @WilliamsRuto. The two presidents expressed a common desire to deepen bilateral relationship around infrastructure, health and agriculture, as well as working together towards regional stability.

Full support to my British colleague. As Ambassadors, we observe elections, we do not interfere with the electoral process and we’ll work with the incoming Kenyan President, whoever he is, to promote our bilateral relations ».
