Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The country\u2019s acting foreign minister Deng Dau said in statements at Juba International Airport before the president\u2019s departure that Kiir will \u201cdiscuss trade, transport and security management along their common borders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would also discuss regional peace and security, particularly the crisis in Sudan and the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. We are committed to working together to promote peace and stability in the region,\u201d Malek said.<\/p>\n

Kiir was seen off at the airport by First Vice President Riek Machar and was accompanied to Kenya by senior government officials including presidential minister Barnaba Marial, acting foreign minister Deng Dau, cabinet minister Martin Elia Lomuro, and transport minister Madut Biar.<\/p>\n

Kenya is a key regional partner for South Sudan. The two countries have strong economic ties, and Kenya has been a major supporter of South Sudan\u2019s peace process.<\/p>\n

The visit, the first for Kiir since election of William Ruto last year as Kenyan president, is seen as an opportunity for the two countries to strengthen their cooperation and work together to address the challenges facing the region.<\/p>\n
