Kenya and China enjoy cordial diplomatic relations that are anchored on shared interests.
We are strengthening our trade ties through the Framework Agreement on Economic Partnership for Shared Development, which expands access for Kenyan products to the Chinese market at duty-free, quota-free status beginning May.
Our cooperation in infrastructure development, under the public-private partnership framework, is delivering key projects, including the extension of the Standard Gauge Railway from Narok to Kisumu and Malaba, and the Rironi-Mau Summit highway.
We are also deepening collaboration in digital innovation, intelligent transport systems, green energy, manufacturing and industrialisation, healthcare, and education. Our goal is to deliver tangible benefits for our people.
