Before the General Assembly, the President of the Republic of Kenya pressed the case for a fairer global financial system that serves developing economies.
Addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations, the President of the Republic of Kenya made the case for urgent reform of the international financial architecture, arguing that the current system places an unfair burden on developing economies and constrains their ability to invest in their own people.
The President called for affordable, long-term financing for climate adaptation and development, a fairer approach to sovereign debt, and a stronger voice for African nations in the institutions that shape global economic rules. The address linked financial reform to Kenya’s wider diplomacy of dignity, ownership and shared prosperity.
The President reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to multilateralism, peacekeeping and the rules-based international order, while urging that global institutions evolve to reflect the realities of an integrated and rising African continent.
