State House spokesperson Hussein Mohamed has clarified President William Ruto’s agenda following his arrival in New York for the high-level week of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
The President has landed in the United States, having left the country just hours before.
The visit has been highly anticipated as it comes at a time when global economic and diplomatic landscapes have been undergoing significant shifts.
According to Mohamed, President Ruto has a clear and focused mission. His primary objective is to champion multilateralism, a principle Kenya has consistently upheld on the global stage.
This has been a recurring theme in his engagements, where he has emphasized the need for a collaborative approach to solving complex global challenges.
The President’s focus has a direct bearing on the plight of developing countries, which have been disproportionately affected by a flawed international financial system.
President Ruto has advocated for significant reforms of this system, calling for a more equitable and inclusive architecture.
He has often highlighted how the current setup, which has a bias toward developed nations, has created a vicious cycle of debt for many African countries.
His message has been consistent: to have a truly fair global system, developing nations must have better and more affordable access to development finance.
This has been a key component of his diplomatic efforts, and he has often stressed that global prosperity cannot be achieved if a large portion of the world’s population remains at a disadvantage.
The President’s agenda has been crafted with the hope of mobilizing international support to create a more just and responsive global economic order.
His team has stated that these discussions have a direct link to Kenya’s own development goals as the country seeks to attract investments and build sustainable partnerships.
