Crown Princess Victoria’s Trip to Kenya

The heir to the Swedish throne is currently on a four day official visit to Kenya. Crown Princess Victoria arrived Monday, and immediately got down to business.

First, she opened the Climate Change – A Common Challenge seminar at Nairobi’s Intercontinental Hotel. This is said to the biggest event for Sweden as EU President in Kenya this year. Victoria spoke out the importance of caring for the environment, and how the issue affects everyone, everywhere.

Later, the Crown Princess inaugurated the Swedish Export Council. It was during the council that Maasai dancers performed for those in attendance. Once they finished, they asked Victoria to dance with them. She accepted and happily danced along with the Maasai. She also received two bracelets from the people.

In the evening, Victoria was given a reception by Ann Dismorr, Sweden’s Ambassador to Kenya.

Later in her visit, the Crown Princess will open a school built by the Gundua Foundation, which she is patron of.
