President Uhuru Kenyatta: Ties with China will boost economic growth

Sustained strategic partnership with China will help accelerate Africa’s development and contribute to world peace, President Uhuru Kenyatta has said. He said the mutually beneficial and respectful ties between Africa and China resonated with the 10-point cooperation plan presented by President Xi Jinping at the opening of the summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Johannesburg on Friday.

He said the Chinese leader’s proposal to establish partnership with Africa based on mutual trust at the political front and a win-win cooperation at the economic front was a step in the right direction.
