Cooperation between China and Kenya will continue to expand under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the bilateral relationship is expected to develop steadily, despite external attempts to undermine China-Kenya cooperation, Kenya’s Ambassador to China told the Global Times in an interview.
“There is more collaboration going on in the field of infrastructure, railway, education, and skilling and so on, which we hope to discuss and implement in the coming Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC),” Willy Bett, the Kenyan ambassador, said in the interview on Saturday.
“Also, the cooperation is moving toward electronic motor vehicles. We are trying to go green in all our manufacturing and we are seeking to collaborate [with China] on clean energy power storage, which is very important for Kenya,” said Bett.
China takes the leading role of new energy technologies in the world. With this kind of technology applied under the framework of the BRI, Kenya may a take faster pace to achieve the Vision 2030. “China has moved a step higher in terms of technology on energy storage and it is going to help in stabilization of grids,” Bett said.
