Monica Juma, Kenyans Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs recieved a message from Wang Yi who is the States Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China. The translated message was about his condolences and sympathies to the family of the diseased and the entire citizen of Kenya over the terrorist attack in Durist Hotel that caused the death of 21 people.

Owing to that, Wang Yi also made it known that the People's Republic of China will from now support Kenya to fight against terrorism.

“China firmly opposes all forms of terrorism, and will continue to offer unwavering support to Kenya’s efforts to fight against terrorism and maintain national security,” the Beijing’s top diplomat said.

At a meeting in Nairobi, Juma told the foreign envoys that the Al-Shabaab-linked terrorists who launched the attack targeted the world because the hotel and office complex on 14 Riverside Drive hosted a number of global establishments and international interests.


“While this attack on the Dusit Complex was on the Kenyan territory, it was targeted at the world. The complex hosts a range international establishments and interests,” she said

Juma who was accompanied by Cabinet colleagues Fred Matiangi (Interior) and Najib Balala (Tourism), and National Police Service Inspector General Joseph Boinnet said more than ever, concerted efforts by the international community were critical to degrading terror groups.

“The attack is a clear reminder that the terrorists’ objective is to change the way of life of other societies. It is a reminder that no country is immune to international terrorism,” the CS told the diplomatic corps two days after the attack.

Ten suspects have so far been arraigned in court over the attack, with police now allowed to detain them for 30 days to complete the investigations.
