Busan Port Authority (BPA) promoted Busan Port and expressed its commitment to hosting the 2030 Expo to a delegation led by the Speaker of the Mombasa County Assembly in Kenya, which has the largest port in East Africa, on the 26th.


Mombasa is Kenya's economic hub and a city with a developed marine tourism industry, home to Mombasa Port, the largest port in East Africa. Mombasa Port handles 70% of the total container cargo volume in East Africa.


The port area is equipped with an international airport nearby and has an economic activation zone with tax reduction benefits, making it expected to continue developing as the economic center of the East African region.
