My posting to Kenya could not have come at a better time

On March 22 , I arrived in the beautiful city of Nairobi to start my tenure as the 16th Chinese Ambassador to Kenya and Permanent Representative to UNEP and UN-Habitat. After presenting my credentials to President Uhuru Kenyatta on April 8, I officially began to perform the full duty of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary.

Within weeks, I have travelled to many towns, visited projects including Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and met with some Kenyan friends from different walks of life. I am delighted to notice the thriving development in every sector in Kenya, verified by the hustle and bustle on construction sites.
