Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al
our commitment to strengthening Zeyoudi
UAE Minister of State for
economic ties with the African Foreign Trade

continent and to creating new opportunities for

businesses and investors in both of our countries. The

UAE-Kenya CEPA will not only boost trade and

investment, but also foster innovation and sustainable

growth in key sectors such as agriculture, technology

and tourism. We look forward to deepening our

relationship with Kenya and to further expanding our

presence in Africa as a trusted partner and investor.”

Rebecca Miano, Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade

and Industry, said that, “The Kenyan leadership has identified trade as

a key lever of 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. 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 stimulating the investment inflows that will

further develop our national capabilities. We look forward to its

implementation and the mutual benefits it will deliver.”
