Kenya inaugurated its Embassy in Jarkata, Indonesia, in what was hailed as a historic step toward strengthening collaboration between the two countries and fostering diplomatic relations that had been established in 1982.
Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Amb, Raychelle Omamo officiated the inauguration ceremony in Indonesia on Thursday, Friday, with her colleague Retno Lestari Marsudi.
“We shall work to ensure that we have regular political consultations to strengthen the relations between Kenya and Indonesia to ensure we increase investment opportunities for the benefit of the people of the two countries.”
“We hope that the opening of this mission will lead to the realization of the potential that exists between our two countries,” CS Omamo said.
In 1982, Indonesia established a diplomatic post in Nairobi.
The new mission is designed to improve access to consular services for all Kenyans living in Indonesia.
Furthermore, the new embassy is intended to assist our two nations to renew bilateral relations and give energy to current engagements, according to the Foreign Office.
Indonesia, as a rising economic power, is a high-potential partner in Kenya’s national development plan, notably in commerce and industrialization, security and police cooperation, finance, investments, universal healthcare, and urban development.
Kenya is seen by Indonesia not only as a viable market but also as a gateway to the East African Region.
Indonesia is likewise a prospective market for a wide range of Kenyan goods.
Tea, coffee and coffee alternatives, tobacco, vegetables, leather, and metallic salts are among Kenya’s principal exports to Indonesia.
