The President of the United Nations General Assembly, Her Excellency Ms. Annalena Baerbock, has arrived in Kenya for a two-day official visit.

The visit comes at a significant moment as the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON), the only United Nations headquarters in the Global South, undergoes expansion and modernization in support of the UN's broader objective of becoming a more agile, decentralized and representative organization.

During her stay, H.E. Baerbock is expected to hold consultations with senior Government of Kenya officials on matters of mutual interest, including multilateral cooperation, sustainable development, global governance reforms and the role of the United Nations in addressing emerging global challenges.

Upon arrival, the President of the United Nations General Assembly was received by Amb. Njambi Kinyungu, Deputy Director-General for Multilateral Affairs at the State Department for Foreign Affairs; Zainab Hawa Bangura of Under-Secretary General & the Director-General of the United Nations Office Nairobi (UNON); Amb. Ida Odinga, Permanent Representative of Kenya to UNON and UNEP; and Amb. Susan Nakhumicha, Permanent Representative of Kenya to UN-Habitat.

The visit reaffirms Kenya's position as a key hub for multilateral diplomacy and highlights the strategic importance of Nairobi as a global centre for the United Nations system and international cooperation.

We are following with deep concern the escalating situation in the Middle East that has the potential to spiral out of control with grievous implications for regional and global peace and security. We urge Israel and Iran to exercise restraint and seek peaceful resolution to the prevailing challenge that has triggered the current escalation in line with the Charter of the United Nations. A clear reason why we need a UNSC that functions and acts in the best interest of all. @ForeignOfficeKE
