China, Kenya advance shared future

Sino-African unity expected to bring more stability

China and Kenya agreed on Thursday to elevate their ties to a China-Kenya community with a shared future for the new era, vowing to continue to deepen and expand exchanges and cooperation across the board in the face of new circumstances.

The decision was made during talks between President Xi Jinping and Kenyan President William Ruto, who arrived in Beijing on Tuesday night for a five-day visit, his third state visit to China since taking office in 2022.

The two heads of state witnessed the signing of 20 cooperation documents in areas such as the Belt and Road Initiative, new and high technology, people-to-people and cultural exchanges, economy and trade, and media.
