In that context, the two sides conferred over a number of issues on the African and Middle Eastern scenes, mainly the wars in Sudan and Gaza.

In turn, President Ruto welcomed the invitation to hold a visit to Cairo, expressing eagerness to boost economic relations and hold continuous consultations and coordination on affairs pertinent to water disputes, resolving issues in peaceful ways, and establishing peace and security on the international and regional levels.
