Endorsed by the Embassy of Portugal (Nairobi)
“The Portuguese Business Council in Kenya is a cherished project aimed at promoting the exchanges between Portugal and Kenya with a focus on bilateral trade and investment.
The Embassy of Portugal has been associated with the genesis of the Council from its onset. We welcome its institutionalisation, as a valuable partner in furthering the dynamics of the relations among our two countries. With a solid common heritage from the times of Vasco da Gama’s arrival in Malindi in 1498, Portugal and Kenya place their eyes in the future as they look for mutually beneficial opportunities for their companies and its entrepreneurs in each other markets.
The Trade and Investment Agency of Portugal – AICEP has extended its support to the business association movement, as well, as its Chairman visited Kenya in March 2019 to meet with the business community and encourage the bilateral trading and investment offering the services of the Agency for that purpose.”
