By making Nairobi the first stop of his African tour yesterday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi demonstrated the close bilateral relations between the two countries, cemented by President Uhuru Kenyatta’s official visit to China in August 2013, only four months after assuming power.

Wang’s trip is meant to follow up on proposals and cooperation agreements signed between China, the world’s fastest growing economy, and Kenya recently.
