Presidents Uhuru Kenyatta and Tanzania's John Pombe Magufuli have directed their foreign ministers to form a joint commission to chart the way forward on future bilateral relations, even as the leaders avoided speaking on hot button issues that have recently strained ties between the two neighbours.
The joint ministerial team, spearheaded by Kenya's Foreign Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed and her Tanzanian counterpart Bernard Membe, is expected to meet in Tanzania before year-end.
