    "content": "Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate the other four countries that were elected to serve alongside Kenya namely Mexico, Norway, Ireland and India. Our deepest appreciation also goes to our foreign friends who supported us in our quest. I want to thank all the East African Community (EAC) nations because our success began with their endorsement. I also want to thank the African Union (AU), which was very helpful. Without the AU’s endorsement, this campaign would not have been possible. It must be very clear to all that Kenya is in the UNSC to represent the entire Africa and will not waver in its commitment to the Pan-African agenda at the UN. Through our membership and the general mandate to pursue the interest of Africa first and foremost and also those of the world, Kenya will seek to be guided by our foreign policy that prioritises peace, economics, environment and cultural pursuits, among others. The 10 points that guided our agenda, which we promised to pursue during the campaigns for this position, are: 1. Building bridges regionally, globally and locally. 2. Peace keeping and support operations. 3. Regional peace and stability. 4. Counter-terrorism and prevention of extremism. 5. Women peace and security. 6. Youth empowerment. 7. Humanitarian action. 8. Justice, human rights and democracy. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
