A message from the High Commissioner
Kenya and Botswana established bilateral relations immediately after Botswana achieved her independence in 1966. Initially, Kenya’s High Commission in Lusaka, Zambia was accredited to Botswana. A consulate was opened in December 1997 following a request by the Kenyan Community in Botswana. The Consulate was upgraded to a fully-fledged High Commission in 2001. The core responsibility of the High Commission is to articulate Kenya’s foreign policy, strengthen bilateral relations with Botswana, provide consular services, promote economic and commercial interests, and safeguard Kenya’s national interests. The High Commission is also accredited to the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
