More than 7,000 delegates will come to Nairobi to attend the 14th session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) that will be held on July 17 and 22.
The number of delegates set to attend the conference was revealed yesterday when President Uhuru Kenyatta held a meeting with UNCTAD secretary general Dr Mukhisa Kituyi, at State House Nairobi.
Kituyi said the conference—which will be attended by many Heads of States— will consist of a ministerial conference, a youth forum and the 4th World Investment Forum.
The UNCTAD boss said Kenya stands to gain from the conference which will be attended by the biggest investors in the world and mayors of all major cities. He said several Heads of State and government have already confirmed attendance while 50 countries have already sponsored youth to attend the conference.
President Uhuru said the government will ensure the visitors have a smooth stay in Nairobi and called for more meetings between the government and UNCTAD as the conference day nears.
“The success of the conference is important for our country and Africa as a whole. It will have a lasting impact on the future of the economy,” said the President.
