Kenya’s push to secure non-permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the 2021-22 term received a major boost after it emerged that it was UN’s preferred host for an international conference on counter-terrorism.

At a meeting between Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka and Under-Secretary General of the UN Office for Counter-Terrorism Vladimir Voronkov, Kenya received confirmation that the UN Secretary General António Guterres will attend the United Nations High-Level Conference of Heads of Counter-Terrorism Agencies of Member States to be held in Nairobi in June.
