During a high-profile investor session held alongside his State Visit to China, President William Ruto reaffirmed the strong bilateral relationship between Kenya and China, emphasizing Kenya’s role as the gateway to Africa for international investors.
The President underlined Kenya’s abundant, well-educated, and digitally savvy human capital, presenting it as a major advantage for Chinese investors seeking to expand into Africa’s growing markets.
He assured attendees that Kenya, through the Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry, would maintain active engagement with Chinese investors, aiming to attract even greater investment into East Africa’s largest economy — a status reaffirmed by the latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) report.
In his address, President Ruto extended an official invitation to Chinese investors to participate in the upcoming Kenya International Investment Conference, scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. He noted that over 400 Chinese investors are already operating successfully in Kenya, showcasing the country’s established and welcoming business environment.
