President Kenyatta, who flew to the country on Monday evening, attended The Horn of Africa Coordination Meeting at the city of Aqaba, Jordan, that kicked off on Sunday.
The meeting focused on how to confront the threat of terrorism facing the Horn of Africa.
In addition to the meeting, the President and three other regional leaders also held a closed-door meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan.

On Saturday, the President attended the fourth Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa at Bahr Dar, Ethiopia, which was attended by more than 200 participants including Heads of State and was dedicated to finding African solutions for Africa’s security challengesin combating terrorism.
