  • Ruto said he sees a growing relationship between Kenya and China and expanded investment opportunities in their private sector, citing the increased export of avocados, tea, and coffee from Kenya to China as an example of this deepening economic cooperation. 
  • The president also welcomed Chinese people to visit Kenya to explore its rich tourism resources, from the ocean to the Maasai Mara National Reserve and Mount Kenya, as well as all the beauty and culture of the country.

As China-Africa cooperation thrives, both sides agree on the need to foster green and inclusive growth, peace, and civilisational dialogue, Kenyan President William Ruto said on Monday.

In an interview with Chinese media, Ruto said China's stellar economic growth has served as an inspiration for African countries in their quest for shared prosperity, peace, and stability.
