[PHOTOS] Ruto lands back in New York for UNGA

President William Ruto has landed back in New York in the United States of America.

Ruto, who had made an impromptu visit to Port-au-Prince in Haiti on Saturday evening, will be attending the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohammed said Ruto will kick off his participation at UNGA 79, delivering remarks at the Summit of the Future’s interactive dialogue shortly, followed by the plenary session later this afternoon.

"In this morning’s session, the President will argue for urgent reforms to global financial systems, which hinder progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and exacerbate inequalities, particularly in developing countries," he said.

On Friday, Hussein said Ruto will advocate comprehensive and accelerated reforms of multilateral institutions, including the UN, to ensure they remain relevant to current urgent challenges.

"His advocacy will focus on ensuring that the proposed 'Pact for the Future' promotes a democratic, transparent, equitable, and responsive global order that addresses the specific needs of Kenya, Africa, and other developing nations," he said.

The President will take part in high-level discussions on bridging the digital divide, promoting inclusion in the digital economy, and ensuring that emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data governance are managed in an equitable manner.

Hussein said the President will also hold a series of meetings with world leaders and international organisations to strengthen Kenya's partnerships and explore opportunities for collaboration in trade, investment, and diplomacy.
