Kenya
Kenya is situated on the equator in East Africa. It has an Indian Ocean coastline and the Rift Valley runs through the country. The official languages are Kiswahili and English. The capital Nairobi is one of the fastest-growing cities in Africa and serves as a major regional hub for the United Nations, multilateral organisations and diplomatic missions.
Kenya is the second largest economy in East Africa, with significant mineral and energy resources. Mombasa Port, located on the south coast, is a gateway to East African trade.
Australia maintains a High Commission in Nairobi and Kenya is represented in Australia by a High Commission in Canberra.
