Nairobi Palestine assumed Thursday the chairmanship of the Nairobi branch of the Group of 77 (G77) plus China, taking over the post from the Ethiopian ambassador.
The handover of power ceremony was held at the UN headquarters in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, in the presence of the members of the G77.
Palestine’s nomination to chair the Nairobi branch was supported by the Asia-Pacific Ocean Group at UN.
