As a global powerhouse in athletics, Kenya understands this transformation firsthand. The success of our world-beating athletes and other sportsmen and women has not only raised the country’s profile internationally, but also inspired communities, spurred investment, and created pathways for youth to turn talent into careers.
This transformative power was clear during the sports dialogue at the University of Nairobi, where I joined my brothers, Presidents Emmanuel Macron of France, @duma_boko
(Botswana), and @PR_Diomaye (Senegal).
Our discussions underscored the fact that Africa is a continent of immense sporting talent and untapped economic potential.
