Kenya has finalised negotiations over a trade deal with China, two months after announcing a preliminary agreement that would grant the East African country duty-free access to the Chinese market, President William Ruto said on Wednesday.

In January Kenya said the preliminary deal would give 98 percent of its exports duty-free access to the large Chinese market.
