External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar extended his wishes to Kenyan Foreign Minister Musalia W. Mudavadi on the occasion of Jamhuri Day, Kenya’s Independence Day, on Thursday.
Sharing a photo from the International Yoga Day celebrations held in Kenya in July this year, Jaishankar posted on X, “Greetings to FM Musalia W Mudavadi, the Government and people of Kenya on Jamhuri Day.”
The Indian Embassy in Kenya also conveyed its wishes on the occasion, highlighting the strong bilateral ties between the two nations.
Meanwhile, the Kenyan High Commission in India marked Jamhuri Day on December 10 with an event in New Delhi. The Commission noted in a post on X: “Jamhuri day celebrations at the missions come a few days before the National celebration on 12th December.”
The celebration in India featured Kirti Vardhan Singh, Minister of State for External Affairs and Environment, as the chief guest. The Kenyan High Commission shared,
“Kenya High Commission yesterday marked this year’s Jamhuri Day celebrations at a colorful event. Hon’ble Kirti Vardhan Singh, Minister of State for External Affairs & Environment was our chief guest. The event was attended by High Commissioners/Ambassadors and Kenyans in India.”
The Commission also highlighted the enduring partnership between India and Kenya, noting, “India played a significant role in Kenya’s struggles for independence and self-rule; they have remained an important partner in Kenya’s development agenda, supporting mainly education, trade, and investments.”
The main Jamhuri Day celebrations in Kenya were held at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi, where the Kenyan heads of state addressed the citizens.
India and Kenya, as maritime neighbors, share a dynamic and multi-faceted partnership. This relationship is characterized by high-level visits, growing trade and investment, and extensive people-to-people connections. Following Kenya’s independence in December 1963, India established a High Commission in Nairobi and an Assistant High Commission in Mombasa, further strengthening the ties between the two nations, according to the Indian High Commission in Kenya.
