According to latest data, Pakistan’s exports to Kenya witnessed a substantial surge from January to December 2024, marking a milestone in trade relations between the two nations.

The collaborative efforts of MOC, TDAP, and the Commercial Section of Nairobi High Commission were instrumental in achieving this success.
Commenting on the development, the minister expressed optimism about the future of bilateral trade with Kenya. “Insha Allah, this growth will not only enhance our trade footprint in East Africa but also help us offset our tea import bill.” he remarked.
This remarkable export growth underscores Pakistan’s commitment to enhancing its global trade outreach and fostering economic stability through strategic partnerships and innovative marketing strategies.
