CPPCC Chairman Wang Yang
China, Kenya Agree to Step Up Cooperation, Promote Bilateral Ties

China and Kenya agreed to enhance pragmatic cooperation and further promote bilateral ties as China's top political advisor Wang Yang visited the eastern African country from Saturday to Tuesday.During his meeting with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday, Wang, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), hailed the robust development of bilateral ties.

Chairman Wang Yang arrived in Nairobi

He said Chinese President Xi Jinping and Kenyatta lifted the China-Kenya ties to comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation in May 2017, blueprinting a bright future for bilateral ties. Calling China-Kenya cooperation "a good example" of China-Africa cooperation, Wang said he has fully felt the vigor and vitality of Kenya's economic and social development and the strong momentum of China-Kenya cooperation during the visit.This year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Kenya. Wang called on both countries to further deepen political mutual trust and enhance synergy of their development strategies. He also called on the two countries to provide firmer support to each other on issues concerning their core interests and major concerns, promote high-level cooperation in more areas and intensify coordination on international and regional affairs.Wang said new measures leading China-Africa cooperation in the new era will be announced during the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in September to boost China-Africa win-win cooperation.He extended welcome to Kenyatta for the attendance of the summit.

 

Hailing the solid political mutual trust and win-win cooperation between the two countries, Kenyatta said Kenya has actively participated in the Belt and Road Initiative and gained substantial benefits.Kenya firmly supports China in hosting a successful FOCAC summit, said Kenyatta, adding that his country stands ready to strengthen exchange of high-level visits and dovetail development strategies.He said Kenya welcomes China to expand cooperation in areas including investment, economy and trade and tourism so as to develop an even stronger comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation with China.

During his talks with Justin Muturi, speaker of the National Assembly of Kenya, Wang expressed his appreciation to Muturi for inviting the CPPCC delegation.Wang said Kenya is an important stop of his current three-nation African tour, which has taken him to the Republic of Congo and Uganda.The aim of his visit to Kenya is to well implement the important consensus reached by Xi and Kenyatta, and strengthen interactions between the CPPCC and relevant bodies of Kenya, said Wang. He introduced the multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), expecting the CPPCC and the National Assembly of Kenya to give full play to each other's advantages in order to promote bilateral economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges.Muturi said the National Assembly of Kenya staunchly supports the two countries in developing pragmatic cooperation on an equal footing.Noting that every country has the right to choose its own political system and development path, he said Kenya and China have always respected each other's choices and been real good friends and partners.The National Assembly of Kenya stands ready to strengthen exchange of visits with China's National People's Congress and the CPPCC and help to complement and boost bilateral ties, Muturi said.
