KENYA’S DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
The Kenyan government is urging the Kenya European Union Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) Council to explore innovative ways to address current and emerging barriers to unlock the vast potential of Kenya-EU trade.
President William Ruto says Kenya is implementing pro-trade policies with the goal of building a competitive, resilient economy, strengthening mutually beneficial partnerships, and fostering inclusive wealth creation and generating opportunities.
He made the remarks at the Second Edition of the Kenya-EU Business Forum in Nairobi. During the forum, the European Union Chamber that aims to deepen Kenya-EU private sector collaboration was launched.
On the sidelines of the Kenya–European Union Business Forum, President Ruto held talks with the Vice-President of the European Investment Bank , Thomas Ostros.
The European Investment Bank is one of Kenya’s closest development partners, with a strong footprint in energy, MSME support, and infrastructure.
President Ruto said the collaboration is advancing key priority projects, such as the Mwache Dam, the Olkaria geothermal expansion, and the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, as part of the broader development agenda.
