Kenya has opened a new embassy in Indonesia two years after it pledged to enhance ties with the southeast Asian country.
The mission in Jarkata brings to three the diplomatic stations Nairobi has in the region after setting up one in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, five years ago. The other is in Bangkok, Thailand.
Kenya says the embassy’s opening in Indonesia would help improve business ties by adequate consular support.
Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Raychelle Omamo opened the mission formally on Thursday, accompanied by her Indonesian counterpart Retno Lestari Marsudi.
“The opening of this mission is no doubt a momentous occasion because it marks an incredible milestone in our bilateral relations since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1982,” she said.
