Kenya is seeking greater cooperation with China in trade and
telecommunications, according to visiting Kenyan Information and
Communications Minister Mutahi Kagwe.
Trade between the two countries was valued at US$500 million
last year, he said at a reception in Beijing Monday to mark the
43rd anniversary of Kenya's independence.
Exchanges between the two countries were increasingly friendly
and close, with more Chinese businesses trading with Kenya, and
almost 12,000 Chinese tourists visiting Kenya last year.
More than 400 representatives from the Chinese government,
commerce and business organizations attended the reception.
