President William Ruto delivered a powerful critique of the current global institutional framework during a keynote speech at Peking University in Beijing. He argued that post-war multilateral systems are fundamentally broken and no longer serve their intended purpose.
Ruto specifically targeted the United Nations Security Council, criticizing its current structure and calling for more equitable representation across global regions. He challenged the existing financial architecture of Bretton Woods institutions and advocated for more independent and apolitical global organizations.
The Kenyan leader highlighted Africa's unique position, noting that by 2050, the continent will represent a quarter of the world's workforce. He emphasized Kenya's vision of being a digital hub with global impact, describing the relationship with China as a partnership for co-creating a new world order.
Addressing critical global challenges, Ruto spoke about climate change, trade inequities, and the need for comprehensive reforms in international systems. He praised China's contributions to renewable technologies and called for a more balanced approach to global economic and diplomatic interactions.
