Dubai: The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry recently concluded a trade mission to Kenya which provided an opportunity for UAE businessmen to explore new opportunities within the country’s transport, logistics, energy and construction sectors. Organised in collaboration with the French Business Council in Dubai, the trade mission aimed to familiarise UAE delegates with Kenya’s economy and business environment. During the visit, delegates met with government and business leaders and learnt about the advantages of operating in one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies.
Omar Khan, Dubai Chamber’s Director of International Offices, explained that since the opening the Chamber’s representative office in Nairobi in 2016, non-oil trade between Dubai and Kenya has grown rapidly to exceed $1 billion (Dh3.67 billion) in the first nine months of 2017.
