Zimbabwe has renewed its call for United Nations Security Council reform during a summit held in Kenya, Nairobi.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade confirmed the position after a meeting attended by minister Amon Murwira.
The talks took place on the margins of the Africa Forward Summit 2026 in Nairobi yesterday.
The ministry said the gathering included ministers and representatives from the African Union, the United Nations, regional organisations, and international partners.
They discussed advancing Africa’s common position on Security Council reform and strengthening multilateral cooperation.
“The meeting focused on promoting a more inclusive, representative, transparent and accountable global governance system,” the statement read.
“This includes greater accountability in the use of the veto in situations involving threats to international peace and security.”
The ministry said Zimbabwe continues to back the African Union’s Ezulwini Consensus and the Sirte Declaration.

“Zimbabwe aligns itself with these agreements,” the ministry added.
The Nairobi discussions come as African nations intensify calls for reform arguing the current structure no longer reflects modern geopolitical realities.
Africa remains severely underrepresented on the UN’s most powerful decision-making body.
This is despite the continent accounting for a significant share of the issues the council discusses.
