Kenyan President Ruto Attends UN General Assembly

President William Ruto is set to depart for the United States to participate in the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, where he will advocate for comprehensive reforms of multilateral institutions, including the UN. He plans to address critical global issues such as climate action, sustainable development, and the need for a more equitable global order through the proposed 'Pact for the Future'. Ruto aims to highlight the inefficiencies of the current multilateral system in addressing interconnected crises, including climate change and the erosion of democratic governance. Additionally, he will engage in high-level discussions on bridging the digital divide and promoting equitable access to emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI). Ruto's agenda also includes strengthening Kenya's international partnerships and exploring opportunities in trade, investment, and climate action. His participation is expected to galvanize support for African initiatives like the African Green Industrialisation Initiative.
