The information was released by the Embassy of Venezuela in that country through his account on the social network, in which he specifies that the diplomatic representatives attend the activities carried out at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.
“The Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Kenya is pleased to assist the Kenyan people and government in the celebration of the 59th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Kenya at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi,” the Embassy published.
During the event at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi there was a military parade and the raising of the Kenyan flag.
kenya independence
Kenya achieved independence from the United Kingdom in 1963, establishing multipartyism as a national dynamic in 1992, which culminated in 2002 with the peaceful transfer of power between the country’s president since 1978, Daniel arap Moi, and the then new Kenyan president, Mwai Kibaki.
A new constitution was promulgated in 2010, and since then several presidential elections have been held, the last of which was held in August 2022.
strengthened relationships
Venezuela and Kenya maintain friendship since April 1970, which are based on cordiality, respect and solidarity.
It should be remembered that Commander Hugo Chávez during his administration strengthened bilateral relations with countries on the African continent, as part of his South-South cooperation policy.
Venezuela and Kenya signed in 2009 a Agreement of Energy Cooperation, in order to promote and bilaterally develop the field of the energy and oil industry, in the areas of exploitation, production, storage, transportation, refining and distribution of hydrocarbons.
Recently, both countries strengthened ties of bilateral cooperation in the energy area after a meeting between the Foreign Minister of the Bolivarian Republic, Carlos Fariaand the Minister of Energy, Oil and Mining of Kenya, Mónica Juma.
