Pius Rotich, general manager of Kenya Investment Authority, said at a briefing in Nairobi, the national capital, that Kenya can benefit significantly from the highly advanced industrial technology from Shenzhen.
“We have enormous opportunities in the manufacturing sector due to heavy dependence on imported industrial products,” Pius Rotich said in Nairobi during the launch of the photography exhibition showcasing Shenzhen as a location for tourism and trade.
Pius Rotich said that Kenya already hosts a vibrant community of Chinese companies who have chosen to invest in the country thanks to its business friendly investment climate, noting Kenya has signed numerous preferential trade agreements that accord businesses based in the country convenient access to regional and international markets.
Pius Rotich added that Kenya is continuously reviewing its investment environment to ensure that businesses that are located in the country maximize on their returns.
Kenya’s representative of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Shenzhen, Adam Li, said that China has been a major investment partner of the East Africa’s largest economy Kenya is an ideal investment location because of its large pool of talented workforce.
