“We look forward to deepening our relationship with Kenya and to further expanding our
presence in Africa.”

Rebecca Miano, Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade and Industry, said the African
nation had identified trade as a “key lever” of its economic growth and transformation.

“We are on a national development path that is seeking to increase industrial output, enhance the
quality and global competitiveness of that output, and to expand the opportunities for its export,”
she said.

“The comprehensive economic partnership agreement with the [UAE] will play a key role in these
efforts, enabling our exports to reach important markets in Asia and the Middle East, and also in
stimulating the investment inflows that will further develop our national capabilities.”
