Kenyan delegation visits SCZone to learn from Egyptian expertise

Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone Authority (SCZone) welcomed a delegation from Kenya’s Special Economic Zone Authority (SEZA) on a visit aimed at knowledge sharing and collaboration in developing frameworks for special economic zones.

The visit, facilitated by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), is part of a program to support economic zones in East Africa.

The Kenyan delegation seeks to benefit from the SCZone’s experience in attracting foreign investment, managing integration between industrial zones and ports, and handling procedures for goods entering the local market.

 They are particularly interested in the legal frameworks and operational models employed by the SCZone. Field visits are planned to provide the delegation with firsthand experience of the zone’s infrastructure, logistics network, and working mechanisms.

Waleid Gamal El-Din, CEO of SCZone, emphasized the zone’s commitment to supporting African development.
