Kenya Renewable Energy Association (KEREA) Chief Executive Officer Cynthia Muhati recently paid a courtesy call on Sri Lankan Acting High Commissioner to Kenya Ruvini De Silva at the High Commission of Sri Lanka in Nairobi.

The discussions primarily focused on Sri Lanka Expo 2027, Sri Lanka’s flagship international trade exhibition, scheduled to be held from 14-17 January 2027 in Colombo. The Acting High Commissioner briefed the KEREA CEO on the Expo’s objective of showcasing Sri Lanka’s export capabilities, facilitating international business partnerships, and attracting trade and investment across key sectors, including renewable energy.

The Acting High Commissioner also highlighted the two Sri Lanka Expo 2027 Business Briefing Sessions to be hosted by the High Commission in Nairobi on 25 September and in Mombasa on 2 October. She invited the KEREA and its member companies to participate in the briefing sessions as well as the Expo, noting that both events would provide valuable platforms to engage with Sri Lankan exporters, investors, and industry leaders while exploring business-to-business (B2B) partnerships and investment opportunities.

The KEREA CEO welcomed the invitation and expressed the Association’s willingness to disseminate information on the Expo and the two briefing sessions among its membership. She noted that the events would offer an excellent opportunity for Kenyan renewable energy companies to establish business linkages with their Sri Lankan counterparts.

The meeting also explored avenues for strengthening collaboration between Sri Lanka and Kenya in the renewable energy sector through increased private sector engagement, knowledge exchange, and participation in international trade and investment platforms.
