Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya and Canada seek to strengthen bilateral trade and investment ties, according to Trade and Investment Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano.<\/p>\n

She said Kenya is keen on improving the business environment with close collaborations with the private sector.<\/p>\n

Canada is one of Kenya\u2019s big trade partners with exports estimated at $18.71 Million (Sh2.7 billion) in 2022, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade.<\/p>\n

The value of trade between the two countries has however remained low over years, with imports from Canada declining for two consecutive years, in 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n

The CS said the ministry is negotiating for the expansion of market access through various bilateral, regional, continental, and multilateral agreements.<\/p>\n

Miano spoke at the opening of the second form for the Canada-Africa business forum stating that Kenya is the gateway to Africa and that choosing Nairobi as the venue for this 2nd Canada\u2013Africa Business Forum was the best strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cKenya is the gateway to Africa and therefore your choice of Nairobi as the venue for this 2nd Canada\u2013Africa Business Forum is no doubt strategic,” she said.<\/p>\n

The first edition of the conference focussed on renewable energy, agriculture, technology, healthcare, and infrastructure development.<\/p>\n
