UK Assures Kenya of Strong Business Ties

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has told the press during a joint briefing with his Kenyan counterpart Monica Juma that the United Kingdom is committed to favourable trading relations with Kenya even after Britain leaves the European Union. The EU and UK have agreed on a delayed Brexit, Britain postponing its scheduled departure from the union twice – on March 29 and April 12.

Kenya and the United Kingdom will remain strong business partners even after the impending Brexit, British Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Secretary Jeremy Hunt said in Nairobi Friday.

Mr Hunt said the two countries will protect their trading relations regardless of the manner in which Britain will exit the European Union, calming fears of business losses should London fail to secure a deal.
