Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto has said the government is keen on strengthening its relations with China to spur economic growth in the country. Ruto said the government will work closely with China on infrastructure development, climate change, ICT, education and security.<\/p>\n

He added that Kenya was particularly focused on the development of roads under the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. “Investment in this sector will spur economic growth and create jobs for the people under our Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ruto spoke on Saturday at State House, Nairobi, during a meeting with the Member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party Of China Central Committee and Director of the Office of Central Committee for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi.<\/p>\n

The President noted that the government plans to upgrade the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and the ports of Mombasa and Lamu. He said the development of a new Greenfield terminal and a new runway at JKIA, the dualling of Rironi-Naivasha-Nakuru-Mau Summit will elevate the country\u2019s competitiveness.<\/p>\n

Ruto said the projects can be pursued either under Public-Private Partnerships or government-to-government. “We are ready to expedite discussions and conclude on details on the proposed projects for implementation,” he said.<\/p>\n

He assured Chinese investors of the government\u2019s commitment to providing security to everyone. Yi said China will continue working with Kenya for the two country\u2019s prosperity.<\/p>\n

“China will consider Kenya Government\u2019s priority areas of interest,” he said. He said the Chinese government fully supports President Ruto\u2019s administration and invited him to visit Beijing.<\/p>\n
