I extend my warm congratulations to Professor Phoebe Okowa on her election to a full nine-year term as Judge of the International Court of Justice.

This distinguished achievement brings immense pride to Kenya and reflects the international community’s confidence in her legal expertise, integrity and commitment to justice.

As a diplomat, I deeply value the role of international law in strengthening cooperation among nations and ensuring the peaceful settlement of disputes. I wish Judge Okowa every success as she continues to serve the Court with independence and distinction.

Congratulations, Judge Okowa. You have honoured our nation and inspired generations of Kenyans to aspire to excellence in service to the world.

The Kenya High Commission in Canberra was delighted to host a group of approximately 30 Australian friends of Kenya, led by Ms. Rhonda Moore, whose remarkable association with Kenya spans nearly three decades of visits.

The occasion provided an opportunity to celebrate the enduring friendship between the peoples of Kenya and Australia, share fond memories of Kenya, and recognise the important role of tourism and people-to-people connections in strengthening bilateral relations.

In recognition of her longstanding affection for Kenya, Rhonda was presented with a special letter of appreciation from the High Commissioner.

Karibuni sana! 🇰🇪🇦🇺

🔥🇰🇪 AT 41, ELIUD KIPCHOGE JUST PROVED THAT LEGENDS DON'T FADE — THEY EVOLVE!

Three years without a marathon win.
Three years of questions.
Three years of people saying: "Maybe he's done."

And today, in Melbourne, he answered every single one of them. 👑

Eliud Kipchoge crossed the line in 2:09:10 — a NEW COURSE RECORD, breaking the previous mark by two seconds.

But here's what makes this win different:

He didn't just race. He raced on an F1 track at Albert Park.
He finished inside the Melbourne Cricket Ground — one of the most iconic stadiums in the world.
He slowed down inside the MCG just to wave at the fans.

"When I was running, I saw people standing, cheering, and shouting my name," he said after the race. "It makes me proud to run with the younger generation and inspire the running community in Melbourne."

At 41, Kipchoge is still chasing something bigger than medals.

His "World Tour" — marathons on all seven continents — is about raising funds for causes he believes in. Melbourne was the third stop, after South Africa and Brazil.

Most athletes retire at 35.
Kipchoge is rewriting what's possible at 41. 🇰🇪🔥

Is Eliud Kipchoge the greatest marathoner of all time — or the greatest athlete of all time? 👇🏾
