NAIROBI, Kenya – Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo met with Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Investment, Trade and Industry Rebecca Miano. During the meeting, the two explored the opportunities to strengthen bilateral commercial ties across a variety of sectors, including the digital economy, infrastructure, agriculture, clean energy, critical minerals and artificial intelligence.
