Barbados and Kenya have acknowledged the need to form partnerships, building bridges and identifying challenges and opportunities for enhancing trade relations between the two countries.
State Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Business, Sandra Husbands, said as a result of increased political cooperation over the past two years, imports from Kenya had increased while Barbados' exports to Kenya had decreased.
Ms Husbands highlighted the need for Barbados to implement initiatives in order to ramp up its export potential.
She said that through the Embassy in Kenya, Barbados is seeking to establish linkages between communities, clubs, and associations. In addition, the island is seeking to have exchanges between schools, universities, cultural groups, and practitioners, as well as media entities.
