Kenyatta Asks For Caribbean Support in Kenya’s Bid for UN Security Council Seat

President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged the Caribbean community to support Kenya’s bid for the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) non-permanent seat for the period 2021 to 2022.

The President made the appeal as he pitched for closer cooperation among African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries to spur development and economic growth.

“Kenya’s candidature is informed by the critical role the UN Security Council plays in the maintenance of international peace and security,” the President said as he assured that Kenya will continue to play a leading role in peace, security and conflict management in the Horn of Africa region and other parts of the world.

The Head of State, who was accompanied by Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Monica Juma, spoke during a meeting with leaders of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) in Bridgetown, Barbados.

Kenya will host the next session of the ACP-EU Cotonou Agreement Summit in December this year in Nairobi.
