In a jubilee celebration which took place December 13, leaders agreed that mutually beneficially business relations have solidified the bond between the two nations. According to the report, Kenya and China have recommitted to implementing deals that are long-lasting and hopefully larger in scale.

“Over the past half century, China and Kenya relations have withstood the test of the changing international tides. Our bilateral relations have closely followed the course of mutual respect and common development,” Liu Guangyaun, Chinese ambassador to Kenya said.

“We will embrace partnerships based on mutual respect and win-win scenarios,” Kenya president Uhuru Kenyatta added.
