Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga held a meeting with the ambassadors of the member-countries of the Delegation of European Union in Kenya.
He briefed the diplomats on political developments in the country and the region especially the handshake and his recent meeting with South Sudan President Salva Kiir in Juba.
Odinga appreciated the support to our initiatives by the EU and said "I look forward to more similar engagements."
Odinga, was in the neighbouring South Sudan on Thursday, May 24.
Odinga, an opposition leader who changed tune and teamed up to work with his political nemesis President Uhuru Kenyatta, held discussions with South Sudan President Salva Kirr Miyardit at State House in Juba.
IGAD said talks in Ethiopia to revive South Sudan’s failed 2015 peace pact and end the country’s civil war broke up on Wednesday without a deal, prolonging a conflict that has killed thousands of people and displaced millions.
IGAD has been helping to mediate and get South Sudan’s warring parties to agree again on power sharing and security arrangements, crucial steps for recommitting to the 2015 agreement and ending the war in Africa's youngest country which attained independence in December 2011.
In a statement IGAD said the talks ended on Wednesday after “several attempts to narrow the gaps between the positions of the parties” proved fruitless.
Accompanied by Suna East MP Junet Mohammed and Lawyer Paul Mwangi, Odinga held peace and stability-related discussions with Kiir.
South Sudan plunged into war in December 2013, barely two years after independence from Sudan, after a disagreement between President Kiir and his former Deputy Riek Machar deteriorated into a military confrontation.
Thousands have been killed by the fighting between troops loyal to Kiir and forces loyal to Machar.
The conflict has also left a quarter of the country’s population of 12 million either internally displaced or as refugees in neighbouring countries.
