The bilateral meeting between the President of Kenya William Ruto and Kamel Ghribi, president of Ecam Council (non-profit European Corporate Council on African and the Middle East), which was held on the sidelines of the G7, in course in Puglia. The photo of President Ruto, one of the 5 African leaders invited to the summit, and Ghribi shaking hands is on the front page of the Kenyan newspaper ‘The Star’.
Ecam Council, a platform that promotes discussion and dialogue, encouraging investments in a triangular perspective between Europe, Africa and the Middle East, supported by Gksd Investment Holding and Gruppo San Donato, was born from an idea by Ghribi, president of Gksd Investment Holding, and Paolo Rotelli, vice president of the San Donato Group.
Just a month ago, in May, Ghribi with the Gksd team had been in Kenya for a series of institutional meetings with key figures in the government and economy of the African country. And he had also met President Ruto. “Kenya has taken a leading role in changing the way business is done in Africa and is a country where investments can be made in areas such as healthcare, green energy, sustainable engineering, design and construction that they benefit both governments and businesses – wrote Ghribi on Instagram, describing the official visit – Without considering the prospects for the development of sustainable agriculture and a leather industry that has great margins for growth also thanks to numerous free trade agreements with the United States and with countries of the European Union. The lack of high-level global cooperation prevents the progress of sustainable and lasting investments in Africa. This is why I have always actively supported energy transition projects, infrastructure development and healthcare affordable prices and inclusive and fair partnerships not only with Africa but also with the Mena region. And also from here, from Kenya, we are ready to serve Africa through fair and equitable partnerships.” A partnership that is also strengthened in these days at the G7.
