The Australia East Africa Chamber of Commerce has been launched in Nairobi to bolster trade, investment, and partnerships between Australia and the East African region.

• The chamber aims to accelerate cross-border trade by connecting businesses and advocating for its members.
• Key figures involved include Australian High Commissioner to Kenya Andrew Barnes and Austrade CEO Dr. Paul Grimes.
• Established with a regional approach after initially considering a Uganda-focused chamber, it aims for two-way trade and exchange.
