Kenya's bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council has received a significant boost with Algeria declaring its support for the country's candidature.
Speaking during a ceremony at State House, Nairobi, on Wednesday, incoming Algerian Ambassador to Kenya Selma Malika Haddadi said her country is convinced that Kenya is best placed to advance Africa's interests at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
“Algeria fully and actively supports Kenya's candidacy. We are convinced that Kenya is best placed to promote Africa's interests at the UNSC,” Ambassador Haddadi said.
President Uhuru Kenyatta received credentials from the incoming Algerian Ambassador, as well as from incoming Bangladesh High Commissioner Jahangir Kabir Talukder and non-resident High Commissioner Verna Mills from St. Kitts and Nevis.
President Kenyatta expressed his commitment to working closely with the new envoys to enhance the existing strong ties between Kenya and their respective countries.
