June Ruto who has a Masters degree in International Studies from the University of Queensland, Australia and a bachelor degree in Diplomacy from the United States International University in Nairobi is among the delegates attending the Warsaw Summit which will be looking at security in the Middle East.
The fact that Kenya does not have a fully fledged embassy in the eastern European country confirms her role as a senior representative of Kenya.
She joined the diplomatic service in 2014 and had previously been serving as second counsel in the Kenyan embassy of Rome, Italy.
The duration of her post or actual date of appointment is yet to be revealed, but under the new title, June is entitled to enjoy the same privileges and immunities as a regular ambassador.
Ambassador Monica Juma who is on an official visit to discuss matters on peace and security in the region and other issues of mutual interest in Poland was received by the deputy presidents daughter.
