President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday urged Kenyans living in Jamaica to be good ambassadors of the country.
He noted that they should always ensure they portray a good outlook that will give Kenya a good name in the foreign nation.
“No matter the distance between our lands we are all one people.
“Be like a torch which shines the path for other Kenyans and be the mirror that Jamaicans can look into to see who Kenyans are,” the president said.
He urged Kenyan Ambassador to Jamaica, who is based in Cuba, Ambassador Anthony Muchiri to make sure he has enough time, and pays attention to the interests of Kenyan citizens in both nations.
“The government is here to support you and create more opportunities for Kenyans and also show opportunities existing for Jamaicans in Kenya,” said the president.
President Kenyatta landed in Jamaica earlier this week following an invitation from Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness.
The two leaders held bilateral talks where they agreed to work together in various fields which include sports, agriculture and tourism.
President Kenyatta was accompanied by First Lady Margret Kenyatta, CS Amb Monica Juma (Foreign Affairs), CS Amina Mohamed (Sports) and CS Najib Balala (Tourism).
