The statement also says that the two leaders discussed the challenges Kenya faces in hosting hundreds and thousands of refugees and the need for strong international support.
The two leaders also affirmed their country's partnership in a host of issues, including combating terrorism.

Ethiopia pipeline to go through Kenya
Kenya and Ethiopia have agreed to construct an oil pipeline from the Kenyan coastal town of Lamu to the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
There are plans to build a large new port in Lamu, but progress has been slow.
Landlocked Ethiopia is keen to reduce its reliance on the port in Djibouti, which is one of the most expensive in the world.
Uganda recently opted out of an earlier agreement to pipe its oil via Kenya.
The company constructing the pipeline preferred to route it via Tanzania citing insecurity in Kenya, where there are regular attacks by the Islamist group al-Shabab.
