My mission to Kenya is coming to an end after 4 years. I am happy that my last moments as a French ambassador were spent with President Ruto confirming the strength of our relationship and the dedication on our bilateral projects. Asante sana! Kwaheri Kenya!
A sunny day at the UNON compound. Glad to learn that @unvisitorsnbi will resume their in-person tours starting next month. Guided tours are also available in French ! Venez nombreux partager l'histoire du site qui héberge @UNEP et @UNHABITAT avec Pierre votre guide francophone.

#NordStream | France stands shoulder to shoulder with Denmark and Sweden in the wake of the damage to the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. The information we have so far points to this damage being deliberate.

National @Gendarmerie investigators have just arrived in #Ukraine; @MinColonna introduced them to the Prosecutor General, @AndriyKostinUa. They will be deployed from tomorrow in the #Izium region.
France stands at #Ukraine's side in the fight against impunity.

The #Russian invasion of #Ukraine has not made us lose focus on global challenges, including the cost of living rises in Kenya. The EU is doing what it can to be supportive of #Kenya . Russia can end this all by pulling out of sovereign Ukraine. @TheStarKenya @UKRinKEN @eu_eeas
For decades, the #EU has ranked as 1st global provider of development aid. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has not made us lose focus on global challenges. While we cannot change history, we can aim to build towards a brighter future. @TheStarKenya 👇🏽 the-star.co.ke/opinion/colum…

As the Language Assistants leave for France to teach English in various schools across France, I met KevinLee who will be teaching in #Besancon, my home town. He’s looking forward to the experience and I wish him and all the other young Kenyans, the best of luck in their programs

Working breakfast with Amb. Lucy Kiruthu, Director Europe @ForeignOfficeKE. An excellent opportunity to follow up on the major projects launched during President Macron’s visit to Kenya in 2019. Our bilateral relations are constantly developing.

The Gujarati community is settled in #Kenya for more than a century. Shreebai Mataji Temple is the closest neighbor of the French Embassy and kindly provides logistical help during our last Bastille Day. We were happy to share a prayer and a traditional meal together 🤲🏽💐 – at Kenya

Today our Linguistic Dept joined 127 Kenyan students who are going to France for the Assistants de Langue programme. Kenya is the 1st country in Africa, 4th internationally, to send students to France for the program. @FEI_LangueFr @FEI_assistants @LDDNairobi @CampusFranceKE

@WilliamsRuto
This first conversation between the President-elect of Kenya and the President de la République Française is a good start for the continuation and renforcement of the bilateral relationship between Kenya and France and a strong incentive for the Embassy to pursue its work. Merci!
Very positive discussions between @EmmanuelMacron and @WilliamsRuto. The two presidents expressed a common desire to deepen bilateral relationship around infrastructure, health and agriculture, as well as working together towards regional stability.

#Ukraine | Today 24 August is Ukraine's Independence Day 🇺🇦. But the day also marks six months of ongoing war. @MinColonna addresses Ukrainians on this occasion and recalls 🇫🇷's support in the long term.

Full support to my British colleague. As Ambassadors, we observe elections, we do not interfere with the electoral process and we’ll work with the incoming Kenyan President, whoever he is, to promote our bilateral relations ».
