Top Chinese Official Li Xi Visits Kenya for Bilateral Talks
Chinese official Li Xi arrived in Nairobi on Monday for discussions aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between China and Kenya. He was received by Kenyan President William Ruto at the State House.
During the talks, President Ruto reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to deepening its partnership with China, stating, “Kenya is dedicated to advancing this partnership across Africa and upholding the ‘One China’ policy.”
The two countries are working together on various development projects in Kenya, with Ruto also requesting China’s support for Kenya’s bid to join the BRICS group of emerging economies.
BRICS, which represents about 28% of the global economy, was originally founded in 2006 with Brazil, Russia, India, and China. South Africa joined in 2010, and this year, countries such as Egypt and Ethiopia became members.
