H.E. Amb. Maurice Makoloo is pleased to welcome you to the official website of the Kenya High Commission in London. This platform is designed to provide convenient access to essential information on Kenya's trade, business and investment opportunities, as well as the range of consular services offered by the Mission.

The bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and Kenya is deeply rooted in shared values and mutual aspirations. This partnership is further strengthened by the UK-Kenya Strategic Partnership Framework (2025-2030), which seeks to enhance bilateral cooperation with the objective of promoting mutual prosperity, stimulating economic growth, and creating employment opportunities.

These goals are pursued, among other initiatives, through the strengthening of trade and investment linkages and capacity-building efforts that deliver tangible benefits to both countries.

The Strategic Partnership is anchored on four key pillars: Trade, Investment and Green Growth; Climate and Nature; Science and Technology; and Security and Stability.

The Kenyan diaspora in the United Kingdom, numbering over 200,000, remains a vital contributor to the socio-economic development of both nations. Many members of this community are accomplished professionals and business leaders whose contributions continue to positively impact Kenya and the UK.

Looking ahead, the High Commission remains committed to further deepening this important relationship and exploring new avenues for collaboration.

We endeavour to keep this website current, informative and user-friendly, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience for all visitors. Your feedback and suggestions for improvement are highly valued and you are warmly encouraged to share them with us.
