The Principal Secretary (PS), Trade and Industrialisation, Alfred K'Ombudo, hosted a delegation of Swiss Parliamentarians at his office in Times Tower, Nairobi, to strengthen bilateral trade ties between Kenya and Switzerland by exploring new partnership opportunities to expand trade and investment.
The Delegation included members from both the National Council (Lower Chamber) and the Council of States (Upper Chamber), who also served as representatives of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) in the Swiss Parliament.
Speaking during the courtesy call in his office in Nairobi, K'Ombudo said that Kenya is keen on advancing trade ties that will help the country to diversify its products through value addition while creating access to new global markets. "We see opportunities not only in Kenya's commodity-driven sectors-tea, coffee, and cut flowers-but also in the services industry, which contributes nearly $6 billion to the country's exports," said K'Ombudo.
The PS stressed the importance of identifying areas of mutual interest and cooperation to enhance trade and investment between the two countries.
