Somali President Meets With His Kenyan Counterpart In Nairobi

Somalian President Mohamed Farmaajo has said the Kenya-Somalia maritime dispute issue will be resolved in a mutually acceptable manner.

Foreign Affairs CS Monica Juma said in a tweet that President Farmaajo “expressed his confidence that the ICJ issue would be resolved in a mutually acceptable manner and not affect our bilateral relations.”

Uhuru met Farmaajo at his hotel, rather than State House, where he has been receiving other dignitaries.

Uhuru met and discussed Kenya-Somalia relations on the sidelines of the ICPD25 summit that ended on Thursday.

“They [Uhuru and Framaajo] reaffirmed the invaluable relations between Kenya and Somalia as neighbours.”

“The two principals agreed to bring normality to our bilateral relations and do everything to ensure peaceful relations including obtaining visas on arrival to encourage free movement of our people,” Juma said in a tweet.

Farmaajo further expressed gratitude Kenya’s role in AMISOM and hospitality to Somali refugees.
