US embassy cable - 05NAIROBI3189

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

QUOTE: 
 
MFA.33/390/(001) 
 
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kenya 
presents its compliments to their Excellencies Mesdames and 
Messieurs the Heads of Diplomatic Missions and International 
Organizations, accredited to the Government of the Republic 
of Kenya and has the honour to inform them as follows: 
 
Kenya has decided to formally declare her intention to seek a 
Permanent Seat in the United Nations Security Council.  This 
decision is a result of careful consideration of the positive 
contributions Kenya would make on the United Nations Security 
Council.  Kenya's historic role in peaceful settlement of 
disputes, international peacekeeping, her role as a moderate 
voice in the African Continent and a stable, democratic 
country that fully respects human rights, have contributed to 
this decision. 
 
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kenya 
avails itself of this opportunity to renew to their 
Excellencies Mesdames et Messieurs the Heads of Diplomatic 
Missions and International Organizations accredited to the 
Government of the Republic of Kenya the assurances of its 
highest consideration. 
 
Nairobi, 2nd August, 2005 
 
To All heads of Missions and International Organizations 
accredited to Kenya, NAIROBI
