The mission endeavours to
deepen the existing commercial relations between Kenya and
these countries. It does so by establishing contacts between
the respective business communities and the Chambers of Commerce
in the concerned countries by way of organizing trade and
investment workshops, holding of solo exhibitions and participating
in national and international trade fairs and exhibitions
that are held from time to time.
The mission also services
commercial and trade enquiries from business people on a daily
basis.

queries, the following contacts will be useful for obtaining
detailed information on specific subjects of interest:
