Welcome Message from the
Permanent Representative
Welcome to the official website
of the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Kenya to the United Nations in New
York.
This website offers a window into
Kenya’s engagement with the United Nations and our contribution to advancing
peace, sustainable development and international cooperation. It also provides
a platform for sharing our priorities, activities and perspectives, and
connecting with the people and institutions we serve.
Kenya firmly believes in
multilateralism and the central role of the United Nations in addressing our
shared challenges. Guided by Kenya’s Foreign Policy and our national
development aspirations, the Mission works to safeguard Kenya’s interests,
strengthen international partnerships and contribute to a more peaceful,
equitable and prosperous world.
Our Strategic Plan places
particular emphasis on promoting peace and security, advancing sustainable
development and economic prosperity, strengthening Kenya’s global presence, and
deepening public diplomacy and stakeholder engagement. These priorities reflect
our commitment to Kenya Vision 2030, the United Nations 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.
We remain committed to amplifying
African perspectives and advancing the interests of the Global South. Through
constructive dialogue and cooperation, we seek to ensure that multilateral
decisions respond to the needs and aspirations of our people, while supporting
effective collective action on global challenges.
We value our partnerships with
Member States, the United Nations system, civil society, the private sector,
academia and the Kenyan diaspora. Your engagement enriches our work and
strengthens our capacity to deliver on Kenya’s diplomatic objectives.
I invite you to explore our
website, follow our activities and engage with the Mission as we work together
to advance Kenya’s interests and our shared aspirations for peace and
prosperity.
Karibuni.
