Barbados is looking to enter into a double taxation agreement
and a bilateral investment treaty with Kenya.
Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley shared this information with
people from a cross section of the private sector recently, telling
them the intention was to create a framework that would
“spark their interest” in forging business partnerships
with the East African country.
The Prime Minister addressed the business leaders along with
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta after the two leaders held
discussions on areas of mutual interest. Kenyatta was in Barbados
on a three-day official visit designed to strengthen bilateral
relations between the two countries.
Speaking at a forum entitled ‘Strengthening Trade and
Investment Co-operation within the ACP Framework Kenya-Barbados
Private Sector and Other Stakeholders’ at the Lloyd Erskine
Sandiford Centre, the Prime Minister suggested Kenya presented
myriad investment opportunities.
