Egypt and Kenya to strengthen coordination after talk held between both nations.

Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi held talks with Delegates from Kenya over relationship coordination. The Kenyan delegates led by Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary, Monica Juma talked about promoting relations between the two countries.
