00:16 >> If I may say so, it's been such a joy to have this opportunity

00:19 to meet really quite a lot of Kent during this visit

00:23 and to discover just how things have developed and changed

00:28 since I was here quite a long time ago, I hate to say it.

00:32 But it has been fascinating to meet all these people,

00:36 the entrepreneurs, the young entrepreneurs who are doing

00:38 such remarkable things here, coming

00:41 up with brilliant ideas particularly in terms of how

00:44 to cope with climate change and biodiversity loss,

00:48 thinking up clever solutions, nature-based and so on.

00:52 I do greatly appreciate the fact and for what it's worth

00:55 that Kenya is such a vitally important part of the Congo.

01:00 It is above all a family of nations

01:05 and the important thing I think is to retain

01:08 and maintain that family feel.

01:11 I hope it isn't too long before I come back again.

01:13 I may be on a sick by then.

01:16 But if I may say so, thank you so much

01:20 for the wonderful welcome you've given me and for putting

01:23 up with my fractured sohie.

01:26 Next time I come back I'll try

01:28 to give some more words I can say.

01:29 But in the meantime, bless you.

01:32 Take care of yourselves.

01:33 I think you can do that.
