Kenya keen to borrow a leaf out of China's book

As Kenya makes efforts toward advancing modernization, the government looks forward to learning from China's best practices, says a senior Kenyan government official.

Korir Sing'Oei, principal secretary at Kenya's Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, said the areas covered by the Kenya-China strategic partnership will greatly contribute to advancing modernization and bringing Kenya closer to China, with the ultimate goal of finding a place and playing a role in global affairs.

The two countries have been working together on infrastructure development, security, information and telecommunications technology, financial services, education and capacity building, agriculture, research, health, manufacturing, as well as tourism and culture, he said.
