Message from H.E the Ambassador

I am delighted to welcome you to the official website of the Embassy of the Republic of Kenya in the Republic of Korea. This platform has been designed to provide convenient access to essential information on Kenya's trade, business, and investment opportunities, travel and tourism, as well as bilateral relations with the Republic of Korea as well as the consular services we offer.

Kenya is geo-strategically located at the confluence of the Great Lakes, Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean contiguity, making it a gateway to Africa’s major trading blocs, such as the East African Community (EAC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). It offers one of the best investment climates in the wider East African region with limitless Trade and Investment opportunities.

Kenya and the Republic of Korea have enjoyed long standing fruitful bilateral ties for over six decades. One of the key accomplishments of these relations is the upcoming Konza Technopolis, Africa’s first smart city that will be home to Kenya-KAIST.

We strive to keep this website updated and informative, ensuring a seamless and enriching browsing experience. Your feedback and suggestions for further improvement are highly valued, and I encourage you to share them with us.

Kindly follow us on all our social media platforms to stay updated on all our activities. Facebook Twitter(X) Instagram
