President William Ruto has urged the United Nations Security Council to renew the mandate of the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) for an additional term.
This appeal comes just weeks before the expiration of the initial authorization of the MSS mission in Haiti, which was granted on October 2, 2023, for 12 months.
According to Ruto, renewing the mandate will provide an opportunity to implement innovative resource allocation strategies that can enhance the mission's effectiveness.
"Kenya calls on the United Nations Security Council to renew the Multinational Security Support Mission's mandate and adopt innovative approaches to resource it," he stated.
His remarks followed a brief meeting with Kenyan soldiers in Haiti, whom he praised for their contributions, noting that their efforts have led to significant positive outcomes, including the revival of economic activity and renewed hope among the Haitian people.
Additionally, President Ruto expressed his commitment to strengthening ties with Senegal to advance shared goals in peace, development, and continental integration.
Ruto made these statements during the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, where he also called on countries to invest in Kenya as a premier business hub, promising to enhance laws and policies to align with the needs of international investors.
The President highlighted the country's improved business environment, skilled workforce, and abundant renewable energy resources as pivotal factors for trade and investment, urging American investors to take advantage of the favorable business climate.
"I invite you to Kenya and assure you of my personal commitment to facilitating your seamless entry into the market," he said.
