Nairobi — The fight against terrorism and radicalization as well as regional peace and stability will shape Kenya's agenda at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) following the country's victory on Thursday over Djibouti which was eyeing the two-year non-permanent slot.
Foreign Affairs Chief Administrative Secretary Ababu Namwamba told Capital FM News, being one of the countries in the region that has experienced myriad terror attacks, Kenya will champion the anti-terrorism agenda at the global security council for the benefit of all countries in the region.
"This is a region that has had its fair share of terrorism and other conflicts therefore Kenya will have a very good opportunity to bring its very well-defined credentials as a peace maker.
Having won the non-permanent seat for 2021-22, Namwamba said Kenya has a great opportunity to present all the other security challenges to the UNSC.
Kenya won the UNSC non-permanent seat on Thursday night, after beating Djibouti having garnered 129 votes against Djibouti's 62 in the second round of voting at the UN headquarters in New York city.
