BRUSSELS, Jan 3 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana urged Kenya's rival political parties to seek a coalition government, an EU spokeswoman said after the two spoke by phone on Thursday.

"They agreed the focus should be on pressing the parties to engage in dialogue and make every effort to agree on seeking to establish a coalition government," she said after Solana and Rice discussed unrest there after the disputed re-election of President Mwai Kibaki. (Reporting by Mark John)
