Mutai, and a delegation from the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), led by Chairman of Pak–Kenya Business Council of FPCCI Khalil Paracha. The meeting focused on strengthening bilateral trade and investment relations between Kenya and Pakistan through deeper collaboration between the two chambers.

Discussions centered on advancing business-to-business linkages, expanding trade volumes, and identifying investment opportunities in key growth sectors including agriculture, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and construction materials. Both sides expressed a strong commitment to promoting mutual trade interests by organizing joint trade missions, business forums, and exhibitions aimed at enhancing market access and partnership development between enterprises from both nations.
