The assurance comes in the wake of the decision by defending IAAF World Youth (World Under 18) champions USA to formally withdraw from Nairobi 2017 games over security concerns.
The Americans joined the UK, New Zealand, Britain, Australia, Canada and Switzerland in the list of high profile nations giving the games a miss.
“The State Department’s security summary includes risks for all types of crime, from theft to violent crime and terrorism. Given the ‘Critical’ threat, the high cost associated with our team’s increased security needs, and that the team would be composed of children, USATF will not select or travel a team to this event,” the federation said.
“We have had greater loss of life on US soil than in Kenya due to terrorist attacks and the decision by Team USA to pull out of the games is misplaced and regrettable,” said Mr Korir.
“We have put in place all the requisite security arrangements and expect the games to be another successful chapter in pour sports history,” Mr Korir said.
“We do not intend to lose at home. All efforts are being put in place to ensure that our team emerges victorious at the games,” said Mr Korir.
“We are preparing to make history at the games and our greatest wish is to see a packed stadium during the four days. Please turn out in large numbers and cheer our children as they overcome the completion,” said Mr Korir.
Team USA beat Kenya’s tally of four gold, five silver and seven bronze during the Cali, Colombia edition in 2015, bagging a record 19 medals including 11 gold, five silver and five bronze to take the championship title.
IAAF President Sebastian Coe announced last year that the IAAF World Youth Championships would be discontinued after Nairobi 2017.
The IAAF will in future host regional events instead of a world championship for youth and junior athletes.
