“Sweden and Kenya have long-standing and broad relations and I look forward to continued close cooperation between our countries. We hope to deepen our cooperation further with a particular focus on trade and investment β ββan area where both Sweden and Kenya see great potential for a strengthened and mutually beneficial economic exchange, and increased growth, employment and development, says Forssell.
Sweden and Kenya see great potential for expanding cooperation in trade and investment with a focus on the environment and climate, health technology, transport and the green transition. To help tap into this potential, Sweden and Kenya have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Trade and Investment.
During his visit, Forssell will participate in a business forum where Swedish, Norwegian and Kenyan companies will discuss trade and investment prospects. The business forum offers both private and public stakeholders the opportunity to share knowledge and experience and strengthen relations between the countries.
Forssell also plans to attend the launch of Business Sweden and Innovation Norway’s new office in Nairobi. His program also includes a visit to a development cooperation focusing on water and sanitation in one of Nairobi’s poorer areas, business visits and bilateral meetings with government representatives and partner organizations.
