Hullo Mustapha Khan,

 The meaning of Keep In Touch is to ring me or write me, or visit me, don't just go away and then I never hear from you again.

 A similar one that Americans use is " Now don't be a stranger " because it means that if you don't make contact for a very long time then whenever you do , it seems like they have never seen you before, you have become a stranger.
