President Uhuru Kenyatta and Somalia President Mohamed Farmaajo on Wednesday held a meeting over the Indian Ocean boundary dispute.
The meeting was chaired by Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in Nairobi.
In a Tweet after the meeting, Abiy said both countries have agreed to work towards peace and to take measures in addressing issues that escalated the tensions.
Abiy last week held a raft of shuttle diplomatic meetings separately with presidents Uhuru and Farmaajo.
Uhuru was on Mar 1-2 invited for a two-day visit in Addis Ababa, where, together with his host, attended the Ethiopia-Kenya trade and investment forum and the inauguration of Debre Birhan Industrial Park.
“I joined Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali of Ethiopia for the official opening of a two-day Kenya-Ethiopia high-level trade forum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
We made a commitment to deepen trade and economic ties between our two countries,” Uhuru said on Friday.
“We also called for the fast-tracking of the ongoing transformation of Moyale town into a cross-border trade hub in the region in line with the 2012 Special Status Agreement (SSA).”
On Tuesday, PM Abiy received President Farmaajo for a one-day official visit.
