Special Representative of the Chinese Government on African Affairs Liu Yuxi

 

We noticed that this is your first visit to Africa after you assumed the post of Special Representative of the Chinese Government on African Affairs and Kenya is your first stop. What is your comment on the present China-Kenya relations?

I am invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president of Kenya on behalf of China. I met with President Ruto to convey the Chinese leader’s warm congratulations and best wishes and exchanged opinions on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest.

China and Kenya both believe that the two sides need to continue to deepen political mutual trust and work as each other’s trustworthy and sincere friends in politics as well as reliable and close partners in development.

The two countries should enhance the synergy of development strategies in Belt and Road cooperation and under the framework of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation to make China-Kenya cooperation a leading and demonstrative example, and strengthen multilateral coordination and cooperation to jointly address global challenges.
