Canton Fair set to boost cooperation with Kenya

Kenya's policymakers, industry leaders and entrepreneurs are looking forward to deepening trade ties with China as well as attracting investments and technology during the upcoming 137th edition of the China Import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair.

Running from April 15 to May 5, the fair will provide global buyers with a one-stop trading platform. It spans 1.55 million square meters.

Ronald Meru, vice-chairman of the Nairobi chapter of the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the country's engagement with the Canton Fair has offered tangible business opportunities for local companies.
