    "content": "In the old days, the role of diplomacy was laden with protocol issues and, therefore, very different from what it is today. I would like to thank the Minister and his team for the role they have played. They have influenced what our ambassadors do. For too long, our embassies played traditional diplomacy while the other countries played economic diplomacy. We have seen ambassadors from other countries being actively involved in trade activities in this country. In our case, the Ministry of Trade has played a key role in making our ambassadors start thinking about trade and investment diplomacy. Our ambassadors go out there to sell Kenya’s products or create a conducive environment for investment in Kenya. This Ministry has played this role well. The Ministry’s staff who are involved in both internal and external trade should be encouraged. I hope they will be allocated more resources next year. This is because it is important for them to be out there to sell Kenya. Who is better in selling Kenya than a team from the private sector led by able officers from the Ministry of Trade?"
