Kenya–United Kingdom relations are bilateral relations between Kenya and the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has historically been a partner of Kenya in many areas, particularly trade and security (military). ==British Empire== Kenya and the UK have historical relations dating back to the 19th century. Between 1824 to 1826 the Kenyan port city of Mombasa was under British occupation. In 1887 a 16-kilometre-wide strip in the Kenyan coast was leased by the British.〔(). Historical chronology | UNESCO.

Kenya achieved independence from the UK in 1963 and was thus a colony of the UK between 1895 and 1963 (68 years). Kenya even contributed troops during World War I and World War II. In 1963, the country became the Kenya (Commonwealth realm), meaning that even though Kenya had achieved independence, Elizabeth II was still the head of state as Queen of Kenya. The Queen was represented in Kenya by a Governor-General, who was Malcolm MacDonald. The Prime Minister of Kenya was Jomo Kenyatta. In 1964, Kenya became a republic with the President of Kenya as head of state. Elizabeth II visited Kenya four times, in 1952, 1972, 1983 and 1991. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenya–United Kingdom relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
