MESSAGE FROM THE AMBASSADOR OF KENYA TO THE FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ETHIOPIA & PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE TO THE AFRICAN UNION (AU) & UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR AFRICA (UNECA)

Dear Kenyans,

It is with the utmost humility that I accept the mandate given to me by H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta C.G.H., President of the Republic of Kenya, as Ambassador to the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and Permanent Representative to the African Union (A.U.) & the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).

As I begin my tour of duty, I look forward to enhancing diplomatic relations with our host country Ethiopia, AU Member States, UNECA and all Diplomatic Missions accredited to Ethiopia.

I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm AU member states of Kenya’s commitment to the aspirations of the African Union as envisaged in Agenda 2063. I shall endeavor to work closely with all the Ambassadors & Permanent Representatives of the AU member states to achieve the collective African goal and build consensus across regional and global matters affecting Africa.

Lastly, to the Kenyan Diaspora, I vow to partner with you in developing opportunities and providing solutions on issues that affect you with a view of deepening your integration to Kenya’s national development agenda. I further appeal all Kenyans to remain steadfast in observing all relevant COVID-19 protocols as we continue to fight the pandemic. I would like to call on your support as I take on this mandate.

Yours,

AMB. JEAN KAMAU
AMBASSADOR/PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE
