We value the continued support of the European Council in strengthening cooperation between Europe and the Global South through investment, trade, climate action and sustainable development initiatives. Met European Council President António Costa in Brussels, Belgium. We reviewed the progress of the Kenya-European Partnership Agreement and explored ways of deepening collaboration in trade and investment, and economic growth. We also discussed cooperation on peace and security to promote stability in our region. Further, we explored how the European Council can support Kenya, Africa and the wider Global South in advancing reforms of the global financial architecture to unlock vast potential, including natural resources, renewable energy capacity, arable land, youthful workforce and growing consumer market. Such reforms would deliver shared benefits, particularly as Africa's renewable energy resources can contribute significantly to Europe's and the world's decarbonisation efforts. We also appealed for support in reforming global institutions, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to ensure they reflect current geopolitical realities and serve all nations more fairly.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
