Estonia has announced plans to establish a physical embassy in Nairobi later this year, significantly enhancing its diplomatic ties with Kenya and the East African region.

• This marks a long-anticipated milestone after 20 years of work by Estonia's non-resident Ambassador to Kenya, Daniel Erik Schaer.
• The new mission will be Estonia's second physical diplomatic post in Africa, joining its existing embassy in Cairo, Egypt.
• The embassy is poised to strengthen cooperation in trade, technology, and green energy, coinciding with Estonia and Kenya celebrating 25 years of formal diplomatic relations.
