Local economics and public policy think-tank Mentoria Economic Ltd has unveiled a new fireside chat series focusing on international relations with a bias on local economic partnerships.
Speaking when he confirmed the launch of the new Mentoria Fireside Chat Series, the firm’s Managing Director, Ken Gichinga, said plans are at an advanced stage to host the first event mid-month.
The first Mentoria Fireside Chat, Gichinga said, will be hosted this Friday on 17th October at the Baraza Media Lab under the theme: Indo-Kenya Economic Imperatives.
The fireside chat will explore the salient advantages that Indo-Kenya relations enjoy and bring to the broader economy, and will address the question: India and Kenya—beacons of democracy. Can they be leaders of economic growth in the global south?
“The first Mentoria Fireside Chat is a platform for thought leaders to share insights and will feature a rich panel consisting of eminent social and economic experts to explore the dynamics surrounding the Indo-Kenya economic and social partnerships,” he said.
He added, “For Economic Affairs enthusiasts, International Relations Scholars and Public Policy Analysts, this will be an opportunity to join in the chat that will highlight the historical relations that have shaped Kenya’s economic development and the support provided by India in the Infrastructure, Health, Education and related sectors.”
