President Uhuru Kenyatta has met with his Somalia counterpart Mohamed Farmaajo amid rising tensions over the maritime dispute involving the two East African nations.
Sources at the 74th United Nations General Assembly in New York said Uhuru met with Farmaajo to ease tensions between the two neighbours.
The source said the meeting was convened by Egyptian President Al-Sisi who is the current African Union chairman.
Al-Sisi is said to have called the meeting on the UNGA sidelines to compel the two nations to agree on a compromising ground over the disputed oil fields in the Indian Ocean.
This comes as the Hague based ICJ court is set to enter full hearing of the case between November 4 and 8.
While Kenya maintains it is seeking an out of court settlement over the matter, Jubaland has insisted it wants the case to proceed to a full hearing.
