    "content": "It is our firm position that only a democratically accountable system, that is sensitive and responsive to the diverse composition of Sudan can secure that country. Given the regional interconnectedness, together with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the U.S, we have engaged the Jeddah process as IGAD, to fashion a framework that is best placed to successfully deliver peace in Sudan. Hon. Members, our economy is firmly interconnected with regional, continental and global economic systems. Our security and stability are likewise integrated with those of our neighbours. Kenya has a fundamental, essential, legitimate and clear interest in conducting robust diplomacy in the form of bilateral and multilateral engagements. For the last 12 months, we have continued to fulfil our international obligations through Kenya’s leadership in the international arena. This is underscored by the high-level summits Kenya has hosted and participated in. Kenya successfully hosted the inaugural, first-ever Africa Climate Summit, the 43rd Ordinary Session of the Executive Council, the 5th Mid-Year Coordination meeting of the African Union and the Regional Economic Communities and the first-ever African edition of the Berlin Climate and Security Conference in Nairobi. All these summits brought to our country over 30 Heads of State and Governments and over 30,000 delegates from different parts of the world. The Government has made deliberate efforts to harness the immense potential of Kenyans in the Diaspora. Indeed, I established the State Department of Diaspora in the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs so that Kenyans in the Diaspora can fully participate in the affairs of their motherland. I have committed to work collectively, consultatively and collaboratively with counties and all Kenyans to uphold our cherished national values such as human dignity, equity, social justice, national unity, inclusiveness, integrity, good governance, transparency and accountability. I encourage all Members and Kenyans to embrace an open mindset in regard to national strategic interests, and to leverage on our rich heritage and diversity. One of the greatest strengths of our country is our capacity to devise bold, unprecedented solutions to our threats and challenges, create imaginative strategies to avert danger and chart new paths to deliver us from adversity. There is no doubt that our nation has been confronted with immense pressure emanating from political misunderstandings and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
