Kenya says it is agreeing to normalise relations with Somalia as the "first step" of addressing their differences over the maritime borderline, which is already before the International Court of Justice.
The change of tune for Nairobi emerged Wednesday evening after Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Monica Juma met with the Somali Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Ahmed Isse Awad.
