President William Ruto on Monday said Kenya is committed to the peace process in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Ruto said his administration, under the guidance of the East African Community, will do everything possible to ensure there is stability in DRC.
He was speaking on Monday when he held talks with the Democratic Republic of the Congo President Felix Tshisekedi in Palais du Peuple, Kinshasa.
"Without peace no country or individual can prosper," he said.
The two leaders agreed to form a joint committee to define the areas of co-operation with a focus on security, trade and investment.
"Kenya and the DRC have a historic and strategic tie. We are keen on enhancing relations for the mutual benefit of our citizens," said President Tshisekedi.
"Ruto is working to bring the DRC and Kenya closer together and has pledged to support the pacification of eastern DRC."
The visit by the President comes when Kenya has sent a contingent of KDF troops to the war-torn state to help in the peace process.
Ruto ordered the deployment of 903 soldiers from KDF to join a regional peacekeeping mission EACRF-DRC.
The Kenyan troops will join others from Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania on the mission in Eastern DRC.
