A great pleasure to meet President @EmmanuelMacron.
We spoke about our joint effort to build a Housing Knowledge Hub that brings practical, evidence-based solutions to governments and communities facing urgent housing challenges.

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
Mourning African giant & one of the best sons of Kenya, good friend of mine, fmr Prime Minister, Rt.Hon. Baba @RailaOdinga. Sad & shocking. He still had so much to do & to offer. But he showed his successors way forward. Deepest condolences to Mama Ida, his family & all Kenyans.

They also discussed opportunities to expand cooperation, with a particular focus on knowledge-sharing in sustainable urbanization.
It’s official! 🎉
@UNHABITAT’s Strategic Plan 2026–2029 has been formally adopted by #UNHA.
My warmest congratulations to our Member States for their commitment to sustainable urban development and putting housing and slums back at the center.
What a milestone!

Thank you for the important meeting, CS @WahomeHon & team.
It was a productive discussion on the #housing crisis in Kenya & globally.
I'm glad we explored ways to strengthen our collaboration & collective action to find lasting solutions.
@UNHABITAT is proud to call Nairobi home.
We are gearing up for the United Nations Habitat Assembly and the OECPR.
