Rwanda has expressed interest in joining Kenya’s Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the European Union (EU), becoming the first partner State of the East African Community (EAC) to do so. Ambassador Henriette Geiger, the Head of the EU delegation in Kenya, recently said that Rwanda has signaled its intention to join the deal.

The EPA, which took effect last month, gives products from Kenya duty-free access to the 27 countries in the EU.
