President Uhuru Kenyatta today at State House, Nairobi held talks on trade and infrastructure with a special envoy sent by President Xi Jinping of China.
The President and the special representative, Mr Yang Jiechi, who is also a senior official of the Communist Party of China, discussed the bilateral ties between Kenya and China.
President Kenyatta said Kenya’s cooperation with China has enabled the country to make strides in development, and is helping the country and the region open up for more trade.
The President said infrastructure projects which Kenya has undertaken with Chinese partnership are helping connect the region, attract investment and create more jobs.
He said the governments of the two countries enjoy very cordial relations and urged the private sector from the two countries to utilise that friendship to play a bigger role in development programmes.
“We need to really now focus on how we can work together to get our private sector, our investors to work more closer together. How do we attract Chinese investors, manufacturers, industrialists and other business people to invest in Kenya,” the President told his guest.
In addition to avocados which recently gained access to the expansive Chinese market, the President said he would like to see more Kenyan products, especially tea and coffee on Chinese shelves.
Mr Yang, who delivered a special message from President Xi to President Kenyatta, said China was committed to continue partnering with Kenya through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the China-Africa Cooperation Forum (FOCAC).
He said BRI and FOCAC aligned infrastructure projects were aimed at fostering intra-Africa commerce as well as inter-regional trade between Africa and Asia.
“With the railway, we can have industrial parks, all kinds of trading activities. With the railway there will be easy access, efficient access of products to markets either in Africa or in China or in other continents,” Mr Yang said.
On the trade imbalance between Kenya and China, the visiting Chinese official assured President Kenyatta that his country was working on opening up the Chinese market to more Kenyan products.
The President who was joined in the meeting by Cabinet Secretaries Monica Juma (Foreign Affairs), Ukur Yatani (National Treasury) and James Macharia (Infrastructure) invited President Xi to visit Kenya during his next visit to Africa.

Head of the Aerospace Division of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) General Amir Ali Hajizadeh says Iran is among the top five countries in the world in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
“Today, after forty years since the Islamic Revolution, we have seen tremendous progress in many areas, especially drones and we are among the top five countries in the world in the field of UAVs,” he said on Saturday.
“Moreover, we have made very good progress in the field of radars, the downing of the MQ4 aircraft being an example. We are also the most powerful country in the region in the missile area,” he added.
He made the remarks at a public exposition called “Hunting Vultures” where remains of drones downed in Iran and the Iranian air defense system which shot down the US military drone in June were displayed.
The exposition is part of annual events commemorating the start of the 1980-88 imposed war with Iraq, which also includes air and naval displays in the Persian Gulf and military parades on Sunday.
