History

From tourism representation to a full diplomatic service platform

The Kenya Consulate presence in Los Angeles was initially established as a tourism office. It was later closed in September 2000 following a Cabinet decision to review and reorganize Kenya's representative offices abroad, and was re-opened in December 2004 to promote Kenya's economic, trade and investment agenda while facilitating diaspora engagement and consular services.

Today, the Consulate-General serves a large and diverse 13-state jurisdiction across the West Coast, Pacific and Mountain West region, combining citizen services with economic, public and diaspora diplomacy.
