The future of the US-Kenya partnership is bright. Cutting edge innovation, unprecedented growth, and the drive of talented Kenyan and American entrepreneurs are fueling the transformation of our nations' commercial ties. To further strengthen this alliance, between March 28 and 30, I will lead a US Department of Commerce trade delegation of 11 US companies to guide our partnership forward. We will meet with several Kenyan government leaders and private sector innovators to advance the Biden-Harris Administration's bold mission of fueling our global economies through investment and trade.

Our US trade delegation is traveling to Nairobi to support Africa's transformation on the global stage and cultivate strong, lasting partnerships with Kenya and the entire African continent. Kenya is home to some of Africa's most innovative companies that are breaking new ground in critical high-growth industries, including healthcare, information communication, technology and infrastructure.
