Speaking about his visit Kuria said:
"Kenya and Uganda will also set up a joint mechanism to conduct a SWOT analysis of the two countries agricultural, manufacturing and service potential with a view to joint supply chain planning," he said.
"We also took the opportunity to discuss a wide range of bilateral, regional, continental and global issues. In particular, I thanked President Museveni for allowing limited exportation of Iron Ore to Kenya on a special consideration."
