Dr. Rutto highlighted the potential economic benefits, including attracting investors, creating trade opportunities, and boosting the tourism and hospitality sectors.

KNCCI plans to collaborate extensively with various stakeholders to ensure the summit's success.

Dr. Rutto credited KNCCI’s global network and dedicated trade missions for playing a crucial role in securing this honor.

In his closing remarks, Dr. Rutto expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the World Chambers Federation for entrusting Kenya with this prestigious event and extended gratitude to the KNCCI Board, NGC, Secretariat, and partners for their relentless efforts and support.
