The United Nations plans to set up three new global offices in Kenya by the end of 2026, solidifying the role of Nairobi, the East African country’s capital, as a key hub for UN operations.
NAIROBI, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) — The United Nations plans to set up three new global offices in Kenya by the end of 2026, solidifying the role of Nairobi, the East African country’s capital, as a key hub for UN operations, officials said Wednesday.
According to Kenyan Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, the new offices will host programs for the UN Children’s Fund, the UN Population Fund, and the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.
Mudavadi made the announcement following high-level talks with Philemon Yang, president of the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly, during Yang’s visit to Nairobi.
Mudavadi, who also serves as Kenya’s cabinet secretary for foreign and diaspora affairs, noted that the new offices would enhance the UN’s activities, reinforcing his country’s leadership in regional and global affairs since joining the international organization on Dec. 16, 1963.
