Kenya to gain a lot from Tokyo summit

Nairobi will host the sixth Tokyo International Conference on Africa’s Development (TICAD) on August 27–28, 2016. It will be the first time the TICAD summit will be held in Africa. Kenya is becoming the regional multilateral diplomacy hub as it continues to host high-profile summits.

Last year, the country hosted the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in July and the World Trade Organisation ministerial conference in December. The same trend has picked up this year as Nairobi hosted the second United Nations Environment Authority (UNEA) in May and the 14th session of the United National conference on Trade and Development in July.
