Ruto to travel to New York for 81st UN General Assembly
"The meeting comes at a moment of “systemic reset”, with the President of the General Assembly outlining six priorities: peace and security, accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals, climate resilience, human rights, digital governance and artificial intelligence, and UN reform," the PS said.
President William Ruto is scheduled to travel to New York for the 81st United Nations General Assembly, where he will focus on advancing Kenya's diplomatic initiatives on the international stage and connecting with the Kenyan diaspora. Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’oei revealed that Ruto's visit aims to advocate for Kenyans vying for specific roles within the United Nations system.
He explained that this meeting occurs during a "systemic reset" period, as the President of the General Assembly has outlined six key priorities: peace and security, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, enhancing climate resilience, safeguarding human rights, improving digital governance and artificial intelligence, and reforming the United Nations.
Sing’oei further disclosed that President Ruto is set to introduce the Kenya Diaspora Impact Platform, a project designed to bolster collaboration between the Kenyan government and the Kenyan community residing abroad. The three critical processes that will converge during UNGA 81 include the implementation of UN reforms, the selection of the next UN Secretary-General, and a comprehensive review of the global financial system.
The 81st United Nations General Assembly will gather leaders from member states in New York to deliberate on matters concerning global peace and security, development, climate change, and other pressing international issues.
