Kenya is at the forefront in the global war on terrorism and will stand firmly in solidarity with Nigeria in fighting the scourge. The fluid nature of terror networks requires that we work together, to ensure that there is no hiding place for those who plot to kill and maim innocent men, women and children. Kenya and Nigeria play a leading role in peaceful resolution of conflicts and preventive diplomacy in the continent and we will also scale up tour cooperation in addressing our respective security challenges. Our common goal and aspiration for Africa as a continent at peace with itself and the world is the focal point that enables us to coordinate our efforts in order to attain greater prosperity, peace and security in our regions and the continent.
