President William Ruto and his Senegalese counterpart, President Macky Sall, said they will strive to take common positions on issues affecting the Continent.

The two leaders spoke on Thursday after holding talks at the Presidential Palace in Dakar.

President Ruto said the move will further Africa’s agenda and consolidate its position at the United Nations.

“We must unite and amplify our voices at the global level,” he said.
