 Thank you for giving me this opportunity. My name is Brigadier Retired Lonnena Naisho. I'm the Director General of the Kenya Coast Guard Service. This is actually my first time in the ISS 24. It's an opportunity that gave me that very clear for us to network and also get some very good exposures from different countries about how we execute our mandate in terms of the Navy. This particular town called Newport is actually at the right setting for this particular course. We came at the right temperature, able to see the place quite well and a culture of the sea because it's just next to the sea. This particular opportunity is something that we need to explore and be able to get together as sponsored by the United States government, give us an opportunity to sit down together and discuss a number of issues that are relevant to us. We also have one-to-one meetings that have been organized to be able to meet different dignitaries that are here and discuss issues on a bilateral basis. Quite a grand opportunity and I say thank you very much for the United States government giving us this opportunity.
