On October 26, 2019, National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi met with the Serbian National Chamber of Commerce to discuss potential investment opportunities in Kenya.
Muturi emphasized the country's focus on food security, manufacturing, and universal healthcare, areas in which Serbia has expertise.
He encouraged the Serbian businessmen to take advantage of Kenya's good relationship with Serbia and make a direct investment in the country.
“Trade between Kenya and Serbia has remained minimal despite our traditionally very cordial relations. I am therefore glad that we’re having this meeting, and I wish to extend an invitation to you to consider making a direct investment in our country,” he said.
Representatives from the ICT sector expressed interest in supporting Kenya develop a Data Protection regulatory framework, an area in which Serbia excels.
The visit follows the speaker of the National Assembly of Serbia, H.E. Maja Gojkovic’s visit to Nairobi, suggesting flourishing ties between the two countries.
