In 2019, Kenyan President Kenyatta presented a resolution to the African Union (AU) that was passed recognizing The Park Expo as an official US trade hub with Africa. The ceremony took place at the inaugural R-400 Movement conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. The resolution marked a significant milestone in the R-400 mission to strengthen ties between the continents.
