Kenya has reaffirmed its commitment to global governance reforms and fair representation within the United Nations(UN), particularly in the UN Security Council.
Speaking after a high-level meeting with UN General Assembly President Philémon Yang at State House Nairobi, President William Ruto pledged Kenya’s commitment to work closely with the Committee of 10 to push for Africa’s rightful place in global decision-making.
“Kenya will work with the Committee of 10, that is advocating reform of the UN Security Council, to ensure that Africa achieves fair representation,” reaffirmed President Ruto.
The landmark agreement is set to strengthen the UN’s ability to address global governance challenges and tackle inequalities in the international financial system.
“The adoption of the United Nations Pact of the Future in 2024 will help reposition the global agency to deal with the challenges of global governance and an unfair international financial architecture,”added President Ruto.
During the discussions, Kenya congratulated President Yang on his leadership, which was instrumental in the adoption of the United Nations Pact of the Future in 2024
The country remains committed to working with the C-10 Africa’s bloc advocating for Security Council reforms to ensure fair representation for the continent. Currently, Africa, despite its population and geopolitical importance, lacks a permanent seat in the Security Council.
