Foreign Secretary James Cleverly (James Manning/PA)
(Picture: PA Wire)In the Sixties my late mother travelled from Sierra Leone to London to train as a nurse. Today, I am travelling to Kenya on my first visit to sub-Saharan Africa as Foreign Secretary.
Africa has always been a part of my life, but this is not a visit fuelled by personal sentiment, it is fuelled by forward-looking pragmatism, recognising that investing in and partnering with key African countries offers huge benefits for the UK.
