The Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) stands in unity with more than 30 organizations and political parties on the left as we gather today at the International Dilemmas of Humanity Conference. Our presence at this conference signifies our unwavering commitment to the principles of internationalism, solidarity, Pan-Africanism, and scientific socialism, all against the backdrop of the escalating imperialist wars by the degenerating United States empire.

Representing the CPK at this significant event are Comrade Mwaivu Kaluka, Chairperson of the Young Communist League, and Comrade Booker Ngesa Omole, National Vice Chairperson of the Communist Party of Kenya.

Our preparations for this gathering have been meticulous, recognizing it as a vital platform for progressive individuals and organizations across the African continent and the world to engage in dialogue. Through these exchanges, we aim to elevate our collective struggle against the failures of Imperialist Capitalism and address the pressing question of "What is to be done?".

Changing the world requires a precise diagnosis and a clear roadmap for action. To that end, the CPK participated in the regional conference, "Dilemmas of Humanity: Pan African Dialogues to Build Socialism," held from 17-20 July 2023, where we, together with our comrades, constructed a common framework to guide our shared work.

Now, as we unite with friends and allies from across the globe, our focus is on refining and developing concrete proposals that prioritize the needs and aspirations of the world's working people. The success of this conference hinges on the quality of our debates, characterized by robust and nuanced engagement while maintaining the respect and unity that bind us.

Without a doubt, active participation in all aspects of the program is crucial, as the depth of the final declaration will be determined by the strength of our collective engagement. We have full confidence that representatives of progressive formations and individuals who share our vision for a more humane, dignified, and socialist world have much to contribute.

As the CPK and its allies stand together, we serve as a beacon of unity and struggle in this festival of ideas. Together, we will chart the course towards a brighter and more equitable future, guided by the principles of solidarity and scientific socialism.

In solidarity and revolutionary spirit,

International Department of the Central Organizing Committee ( IDCOC)
