Kenya Embassy Paris

Annual East African Football Tournament ⚽️🇰🇪🇺🇬🇧🇮
Mission staff joined Kenya’s diaspora to cheer our team vs Uganda & Burundi! More than goals — it’s sports diplomacy in action, uniting East Africans in France through culture, community & camaraderie.

On the margins of the G7 Leaders’ Summit, I held discussions with OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman on opportunities to deepen collaboration in artificial intelligence and digital transformation.

We explored potential collaboration through establishing Nairobi as the home of the first OpenAI Academy initiative in Eastern Africa, expanding AI education, strengthening digital skills, supporting educators and learners, and reinforcing Kenya’s position as a leading hub for AI talent and innovation.

I underscored the importance of harnessing emerging technologies to create opportunities for young people, drive innovation and ensure Africa plays a meaningful role in shaping the future digital economy.

Deputy Head of Mission, Amb. Jane Lusenaka and Embassy staff were pleased to receive Kenyan Overlanders on a courtesy visit to the Embassy. Having embarked on an extraordinary journey from the Savannahs of East Africa, through Southern, Western, North Africa and are now traversing through Europe. Their spirit of adventure, resilience showcases the best of Kenya beyond its borders. Ministry of Foreign Affairs Kenya

Momentum after Africa Forward Summit is real.
