On June 17, the UN will be electing five states from its 193 members to take up the non-permanent seats at the United Nations Security Council for the period 2021-22. The 10-point agenda that Kenya promises to champion in the Security Council is largely premised on the SDGs. In 2013-14, the world entrusted Kenya and Hungary with co-facilitation of the international negotiation process that created the global SDGs. Kenya’s leadership in multilateral diplomacy has stood out even during these extraordinary times of the pandemic. The SDGs/2030 agenda process is only one of many instances that showcases Kenya’s leadership in multilateral diplomacy.
