Peaceful coexistence and promoting democratic space centered in President Uhuru Kenyatta's speech at Windhoek, Namibia on Thursday.
Uhuru visited the South African nation for the second time, with the first trip coming in 2015 during the inauguration of President Hege Geingop, who also visited Kenya last year during Mashujaa Day.
And in Namibia, Uhuru asked African leaders to support peace processes, adding that the continent will lag behind development should leadership fail to solve conflicts in various regions.
"I paid tribute to the selfless contribution of Namibia's liberation heroes including the late Kaptein Hendrik Witbooi, the late Chief Hosea Kutako, the late Andimba Toivo ya Toivo, the late Anna Mungunda, H.E. Hifikepunye Pohamba, and the founding father H.E. Sam Nujoma," he said.
Uhuru added: "I urged African Nations to strive to build and entrench peaceful, democratic and prosperous societies where our people can realize their full potential without discrimination or prejudice
Further, the president stressed the need for Africa to invest in youthful population, adding that all governments should consider creating conducive environment for them to thrive.
"I also called upon African leaders to pay attention to the dreams and aspirations of our young people by creating a conducive environment for them to flourish. They are the reason our forefathers fought for self determination," he noted.
Accompanying the Head of State were Cabinet Secretaries Monica Juma (Foreign Affairs), Mwangi Kiunjuri (Agriculture), James Macharia (Transport), Peter Munya (industry) and his daughter Ngina Kenyatta.
