On the occasion of the World Refugee Day on 20 June 2014, German Ambassador to Kenya, ANDREAS PESCHKE, issued the following statement:
“We are very grateful to Kenya and Kenyans for their immense solidarity of hosting so many refugees in their country. We all know about the burden of providing safety, food and shelter to one of the largest refugee communities in the world. Germany appreciates very much the Kenyan effort and will continue to support Kenya to meet these challenges. On World Refugee Day, we must also remember that the rule of law and respect for human rights is paramount in coping with the refugee situation. We are in close
contacts with the UNHCR in Kenya and with the Kenyan authorities on this question.”
