President William Ruto Pledges on Good Governance: Foreign Policy and Regional Integration

Kenya’s significance in world affairs is demonstrated by the fact that it is considered an anchor State in the Eastern African region. It hosts the only United Nations headquarters in the Global South (United Nation Environmental Program and Habitat), serves as a hub for international organisations, and is a key player in peace and security initiatives in the region.

The Kenya Kwanza government will ensure that the country is respected and valued abroad. It will promote friendly relations with our neighbours, play a leading role in regional and pan-African affairs, collaborate with our international partners, and uphold our commitment to the international community.

Kenya Kwanza Commitment

A creative and robust foreign policy whose pillars will be:

Economic and Commercial Diplomacy

This entails leveraging our international engagements to create opportunities for our citizens, businesses, and investors. In particular, we aim to expand the market for our products and services by taking advantage of our membership in regional organisations such as the East African Community, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA), and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). The administration will also take advantage of Kenya’s status as tech powerhouse to further drive economic interest of the country.

Anchor State

Kenya Kwanza will strengthen Kenya’s role as an anchor State in regional, continental, and global affairs. We will continue to lead efforts to advance regional stability and peace, aid global initiatives to counteract violent extremism and cooperate with other countries as a reliable ally or neighbour.

Deploy robust, creative and engaging foreign policy to raise Kenya’s profile as a regional anchor State and amplify our partnership with the rest of the world, including Africa, China, US, Europe, UK and India, among other partners.

Global citizenship

This entails supporting the work and decisions of international organisations that Kenya has joined or ratified. These include the African Union, the East African Community and the UN and its affiliates. Our foreign policy will be global in scope, but it will have a more pan-Africanist stance, placing more focus on causes that improve the welfare of Africans worldwide.

We will not only deepen our bonds with our long-standing international and bilateral partners, but also extend our friendship to anyone with whom we share a mutually beneficial relationship.
