During a recent symposium in Mumbai, a high-level Kenyan delegation promoted the country as a hub for Indian investment in East and Central Africa. The World Trade Centre (WTC) Mumbai and the All-India Association of Industries (AIAI) organized the event to improve bilateral collaboration and explore new trade, investment, and tourism opportunities. The Kenyan team identified housing, mining, water, wood, electronics, renewable energy, agriculture and infrastructure development as major areas for collaboration. The forum also included business-to-business talks with more than 200 representatives to explore potential opportunities.
Ramavtar Goenka, Kenya's Honorary Consul, emphasized the importance of further strengthening India-Kenya relations and expanding commercial prospects for mutual economic benefit. He also stated that Kenya is looking for more collaboration with Indian investors in housing, water, mining, wood, electronics, agriculture, renewable energy, and infrastructure development, all of which are key sectors in the country's long-term economic growth strategy. Minister Winnie Mwanjala of the Kenya High Commission underlined India and Kenya's long-standing cooperation. "Kenya has been a long-standing partner of India even before independence and remains a gateway to East and Central Africa," Mwanjala told the BBC. She emphasized the Kenyan government's commitment to aiding Indian companies in establishing a presence in Kenya.
