China's opening-up policy will boost Kenya's exports to the Asian nation, a Chinese government official said on Tuesday.
Li Xuhang, Charge d'Affaires at the Chinese Embassy in Kenya told a press conference in Nairobi that Beijing's ever growing consumer market will bring more export opportunities for Nairobi.
"We will encourage more Kenyan enterprises to cooperate with their Chinese counterparts and obtain more funds, technologies, equipment and capacity from them, so as to increase added value and be more competitive in the Chinese market," Li said during a workshop for media and think tanks on the progress of the Chinese-built Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).
He noted that the Chinese market welcomes more exports of Kenyan products such as flowers, tea, coffee and avocado.
