“The major global challenge is the issue of terrorism and it is one of the priorities Mr President has identified and the country is fully engaged in identifying it.
“We will again be engaging with the international community in trying to find a definite and lasting solution to the global challenge of terrorism. We will share with the international community the challenges that we have been facing,” he said.
Other issues to be raised, according to the Minister include finding a lasting solution to the issues of security, especially the insurgency in the north-east region and how to uphold the human rights of the citizens.
