During a meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Mudavadi highlighted the historic ties between the two nations, citing their shared African heritage and commitment to regional progress. The two leaders discussed ways to deepen economic cooperation, including the establishment of a Kenya-Egypt Joint Business Council and the streamlining of trade facilitation processes.
The talks also focused on water security and the Nile Basin, with Kenya reaffirming its principled position that no party should be left worse off in the utilization of shared water resources.
