Kenyan delegation calls on Tamil Nadu CM

A delegation from Kenya led by Cabinet Secretary for Industrialisation and Enterprise Development Aden Mohammed today called on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam and discussed a host of issues including strengthening of trade ties.
During the interaction, Panneerselvam recalled the long history of economic and cultural relationship between the two countries and said India was largest exporter to Kenya in various sectors including pharmaceuticals, steel and automobiles.
"Tamil Nadu offers a number of competitive advantages for investors and the Chief Minister highlighted that Tamil Nadu's biggest asset is its rich human resource endowment," an official release said.
The delegation had stayed in Coimbatore three days and visited several textile and engineering factories. Cabinet Secretary Aden Mohammed said India could consider the special trade arrangement Kenya has signed with United States and European Union, as exports from Kenya were "levied zero tariff".

The delegation said Kenya would be best suited for film shooting purposes as it offers beautiful natural attractions.
Panneerselvam invited Kenya to take part in the Global Investors Meet scheduled to be held here in May this year by the state government.
