The East African Business Council (EABC) Chairperson Angelina Ngalula has called on the Governments of the East African Community Partners States, to promote a single investment destination.
She asked the leaders to showcase and reinforce the bloc’s comparative and competitive advantage.

Ngalula speaks to the press during her official visit to the EABC Secretariat headquarters in Arusha Tanzania on Tuesday this week.

She says East African countries have abundant resources with unique features from the coast of the Indian Ocean in Kenya and Tanzania to mountain gorillas in Rwanda, an opportunity for East African companies to offer regional tourism packages.
