President Salva Kiir traveled to the Kenyan capital Nairobi on Saturday morning on a one-day visit to discuss bilateral relations and economic cooperation with President William Ruto.

According to Kiir’s office, Acting Foreign Minister Deng Dau said Kiir and Ruto will discuss trade, transport, and security management along the common borders.

“The two leaders will also discuss regional peace and security, particularly the crisis in Sudan and the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo,” says a press statement from the office of the president.

Kiir was accompanied by four ministers: the Minister of Presidential Affairs Dr. Barnaba Marial Benjamin, Acting Foreign Minister Deng Dau Malek, Cabinet Affairs Minister Dr. Martin Elia Lomuro, Transport Minister Madut Biar Yel.

In December last year, President Kiir and his counterpart Ruto discussed the Lapset Corridor Program among other regional issues, when the Kenyan president visited Juba.

The Lapsset Corridor Program is a regional flagship project intended to provide transport and logistics infrastructure aimed at creating easy connectivity between the Eastern African Countries of Kenya, Ethiopia, and South Sudan.

The project connects a population of 160 million people in the three countries.
