Kenya and Dubai have launched the Kenya Business Council to boost trade and investment as both countries deepen economic ties under the Kenya-United Arab Emirates Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).

The council, established by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, held its inaugural meeting at the Dubai Chambers headquarters to connect businesses and identify new investment opportunities.

"The new Kenyan Business Council is an important platform for strengthening trade and investment partnerships between Dubai and Kenya. It also plays a pivotal role in exploring new avenues for bilateral cooperation across various sectors, contributing to stimulating economic growth and establishing sustainable strategic partnerships between the business communities of both sides," said Maha Al Gergawi, Vice President of Business Community Support at Dubai Chambers.
