"Kenya plays an important role in maintaining stability in Africa and around the world, which is highly appreciated in Russia. I am convinced that Russian-Kenyan relations have great potential. My task as ambassador is to strengthen our cooperation, increase trade, attract investment in tourism and education, as well as other areas," he added.
