Kenya High Commission, Ottawa
The Kenya High Commission in Ottawa is the primary sovereign mission dedicated to advancing Kenya's bilateral diplomatic relationship, trade corridors, and economic cooperation programs across Canada.
The Mission carries out critical international dockets by serving as Kenya's permanent accredited representation to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), based in Montreal. Strategic pillars focus on expanding high-value investment partnerships via KenInvest channels, boosting tourism awareness for Kenya's six unique World Heritage Sites, and driving extensive civic development linkages with the growing Kenyan Diaspora associations established across the Canadian provinces.
