@IanECox @KenyaAirways Indeed. @KenyaAirways is much appreciated as Kenya’s flying Ambassador, supporting mutually beneficial trade, tourism and cultural exchanges, and enhancing people to people engagements between Kenya and Zambia.

There are few African countries with three cities that @KenyaAirways serves directly. Zambia is one of them, with direct flights to Ndola, Lusaka, and Livingstone. And thankfully so, because Kenya 🇰🇪 and Zambia 🇿🇲 are two countries that should have been neighbors. I highly recommend the people of both countries to engage more and as much as possible. They are brothers.

Opening the season with a win feels good. Thank you Shanghai 🫶💜🇰🇪

Karibu! On May 1, 6.9 tons of fresh Kenyan🇰🇪 avocados arrived at Guangzhou Port, and on May 9, 320 tons of Kenyan crude avocado oil arrived at Dalian Port in China.

We concluded the 4th Africa Forward Summit with a magnificent celebration of African fashion, music, and dance at the Kasarani Indoor Arena, showcasing some of the continent’s most distinguished designers, acclaimed music stars, and emerging young artistes. The performances were a beautiful expression of the richness and diversity of Africa’s cultural heritage, the immense promise of our continent, and the extraordinary talent, innovation, and creativity of our youth. On behalf of the Government and the people of Kenya, I once again extend our sincere appreciation to all participants, sponsors, partners, and stakeholders whose invaluable contribution ensured the success of this historic summit. We convey our special gratitude to our co-host, President Emmanuel Macron of France, for his steadfast support and commitment to championing a renewed and forward-looking partnership between Africa and France.

António Guterres called for a more inclusive global order - one that fully reflects Africa's demographic, economic, and strategic significance. Is his remarks, Secretary-General Guterres stated that a system designed without Africa can no longer adequately respond to the realities of today's world. The continued underrepresentation of over 1.5 billion Africans in global decision-making institutions is not only an injustice to the continent, but a deficit for the international community as a whole. His remarks reinforced the growing call for reform grounded in equity, representation, and shared global responsibility. #AfricaForward #AfricaForward2026
