Information that seeped through official channels confirmed that Monday’s meeting at the presidential palace was centered around discussions to implement the peace agreement.
The two leaders have also reaffirmed their commitment to ensure lasting peace in South Sudan.
Both leaders have been discussing on the number of states and their boundaries and the deadluck is expected to be diffused in January when the talks resume.
