The meeting comes shortly after Odinga participated in the Mjadala Afrika debate in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he outlined his vision for the AUC Chairperson role.
During the debate, Odinga highlighted his commitment to lobbying for Africa to secure two permanent seats at the United Nations Security Council if elected.
Moussa Faki, whose term ends in 2025, will be succeeded following the upcoming election.
Odinga will face competition from Djibouti's Mahmoud Ali Youssouf and Madagascar's Richard Randriamandrato for the position.
