Russia says it cares about food security in Africa. But Russia's war helped drive shocks in grain, fertiliser and food markets. EU sanctions do not target Russian food or fertiliser exports. Food security depends on reliable supply routes, affordable inputs and stable markets, not war, blame-shifting and disinformation.

Austria has long been a trusted partner of the @UN, with a proud tradition of diplomacy that has shaped international cooperation for decades. Today, I had the honour of meeting with H.E. Christian Stocker, Federal Chancellor of Austria, at the historic Chancellery building. We had an excellent discussion on how we can build on Austria’s role as a UN host country, including elevating its international profile, supporting its vibrant and diverse community, and ensuring the UN’s presence in Vienna remains a platform for dialogue. I look forward to working closely with Austria, particularly during its 2027–2028 term on the UN Security Council, to strengthen multilateralism and reinforce the importance of the UN’s work. My sincere thanks to Austria for its longstanding partnership and hospitality extended to the #UNinVienna community.

Kenya-Finland partnership. @ForeignOfficeKE
Kenya and Finland have taken another significant step in deepening bilateral relations through the signing of three Memorandums of Understanding on cooperation in the circular economy and bioeconomy, climate change, education, digitisation and innovation. These agreements will strengthen scientific collaboration, enhance knowledge exchange and foster innovation-driven partnerships that advance sustainable development and shared prosperity for our peoples. We also reaffirmed our shared commitment to reforming multilateral institutions to make them more representative, effective and responsive to the aspirations of the Global South. Additionally, we affirmed our commitment to global peace, the principles of the United Nations Charter, respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, and the peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law.

Kenya is working with partners across the world to expand markets for our products, attract investment, and promote local manufacturing and value addition. Our leadership in floriculture and our strong position in the global flower market remain critical to growing exports and reinforcing Kenya’s reputation for quality, sustainability, and innovation. To support this growth, we are expanding cold-chain logistics and strengthening market access for Kenyan producers through the Kenya–European Union Economic Partnership Agreement, creating new opportunities for farmers and agribusinesses alike. Partnerships with global industry leaders such as Yara International are equally important in advancing agricultural productivity, food security, and climate-smart farming. Together, we can unlock new opportunities for farmers, accelerate agricultural transformation, and create greater prosperity across the value chain. Held productive discussions in Oslo with Mr. Erling Ølstad of Mester Grønn and Mr. Magnus Krogh Ankarstrand of Yara International on strengthening cooperation in these areas and expanding opportunities for Kenyan producers in international markets.

In an era defined by geopolitical shifts, technological disruption and growing global uncertainty, meaningful dialogue is essential to shaping a more stable and prosperous future. I joined H.E. President @WilliamsRuto and H.E. @alexstubb, President of the Republic of Finland, at the Kultaranta Talks, where global leaders, policymakers and experts exchanged perspectives on the changing international landscape and its implications for peace, security and development. I reaffirmed Kenya’s belief in the power of multilateralism, constructive engagement and international cooperation in addressing the challenges facing our interconnected world. I also emphasized the need for global institutions and financial systems to evolve in ways that are more inclusive, responsive and reflective of present-day realities. Africa is not merely adapting to global change; it is helping shape it. The continent’s leadership, innovation and aspirations remain critical to building a more balanced, resilient and prosperous international order.
