The Principal Secretary for the State Department of Investment Promotion, Mr.

Abubakar Hassan Abubakar presided over the opening of a two-day Regional Validation Workshop Wednesday aimed at revising the COMESA Common Investment Area (CCIA) Agreement.

The workshop reaffirms Kenya's support for a more integrated, inclusive, and investor-friendly regional economic space.

The CCIA Agreement was developed following a decision made at the 3rd Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Summit held in June 1998 in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
