Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has highlighted Kenya’s strategic opportunity to recalibrate its trade relations with China, leveraging the growing engagement between the two nations.
With China’s investment in Africa reaching a historic $295.5 billion in 2024, Kenya aims to strengthen economic ties, foster meaningful investment, and promote long-term sustainability.
“As the world’s second-largest economy, China’s growing engagement with Africa, reaching a historic USD 295.5 billion in 2024, continues to open expansive new avenues for partnership,” stated Prime Cabinet Secretary Mudavadi.
“For Kenya, this moment presents a critical chance to recalibrate our trade relations, with an eye on balance, value addition, and long-term sustainability,” stated Prime Cabinet Secretary Mudavadi.
“While attending the opening of the Fourth Session of the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (CAETE) in Changsha, Hunan Province, I underscored that Kenya’s presence at this landmark event comes at a transformative juncture,” stated Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
This Expo is more than a trade fair, it is a gateway for deepening our economic ties, strengthening diplomatic bridges, and fostering meaningful investment between China and Africa, with Kenya well-positioned at the heart of this evolving relationship.
