Kenya Embassy

|
From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Despite internal tensions in Sudan
and Ethiopia, Kenya has maintained good relations with its northern
neighbours. Recent relations with Uganda and Tanzania have improved as the
three countries work for mutual economic benefit.
Kenya maintains a moderate profile in Third World politics. Its relations
with Western countries are generally friendly, although current political
and economic instabilities are often blamed on Western pressures.
Kenya serves as a major host for refugees from Somalia and Sudan and
currently has troops in three United Nations peacekeeping operations.

International
disputes
The administrative boundary with Sudan does not coincide with
international boundary.
Kenya's status as a hub for the international illicit drug trade has led
to somewhat strained relations with both Western countries and its regional
neighbours. There is widespread harvesting of small, wild plots of cannabis
and qat (khat). Kenya is a transit country for South Asian heroin destined
for Europe and, sometimes, North America. Indian methaqualone also transits
en route to South Africa.
Neighboring
countries
Ethiopia
- Relations between the two countries date to 1954 when Ethiopia
established an Honorary Consulate General in Kenya. In 1961, Ethiopia
appointed its first Ambassador to Kenya and six years later Kenya opened
an Embassy in Addis Ababa.
- The border between the two countries is based on the Anglo-Ethiopian
Agreement of 6 December 1907; however, a treaty signed by Ethiopia and
Kenya on June 9, 1970 determines the present-day boundary, abrogating all
previous boundary treaties. This boundary has been subjected to
demarcation.
- As of 2007[update]
Kenya shelters 16,428 refugees from Ethiopia.
Somalia
The lack of a cohesive government in Somalia prevents normal contact with
that country. Kenya serves as the major host for refugees from turmoil in
Somalia.
