Thank you, Your Excellency. Sweden and Kenya share long‑standing and close relations. We remain committed to multilateral cooperation for peace and security, as well as increased trade and investment for the prosperity of our societies.
Hosted H.E. Håkan Åkesson, the Swedish Ambassador to Kenya for a courtesy call, where we reviewed over 60 years of strong Kenya–Sweden relations.
I called for an end to armed conflict, noting concern that some global peace guarantors are now active participants in war.
Sweden reaffirmed support for regional integration and a stronger, peaceful and democratic East African Community.
The Ambassador noted that over 40 Swedish companies are keen to invest in the country with some already established while I encouraged greater promotion of Kenya’s tourism potential.
