• 7 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: economic interests. Times have changed. Over the years, diplomatic representation was equated to political representation. Today’s emphasis in any diplomatic engagement is economic diplomacy. Take Kenya as a very important economic and diplomatic hub. We have the UN office here, the only one of its kind in Africa. Kenya as a premier Republic requires talented, well-trained and well-prepared diplomats to take care of the economic, political and security interests as a responsible member of the international community.
