2017 Kenya-China Trade Week

Exhibition Introduction:

In 2013, Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China, announced that the Chinese government would reopen the historical "Silk Road" trade routes and proposed the "Belt and Road" Initiative. The main purpose is to strengthen political, cultural, and economic and trade relations between the sea and land routes of the Eurasian continent, further consolidating and developing the trade partnerships established two thousand years ago. The "Belt and Road" Initiative will cover 4.4 billion people in 26 countries and regions along the route, accounting for 63% of the world's total population; it will generate US$21 trillion in economic benefits, accounting for 29% of the world economy; and it will provide 23.9% of the world's goods exports and services.

Kenya "China Trade Week" will be held from June 29 to July 1, 2017, at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre in Nairobi, concurrently with the "New Maritime Silk Road Seminar" and a "Chinese Folk Culture Performance".

1. Exhibition: More than 200 Chinese brands from various industries, including electronics and communications products, textiles, clothing, shoes, hats, daily necessities, decorations, gifts, stationery, toys, auto parts, furniture, and hotel supplies, will showcase their latest and best products. With strong support from the governments and chambers of commerce of both countries, the exhibition is bound to be a success.

2. Conference: Senior government officials from China and Kenya will attend the "New Maritime Silk Road Seminar" to discuss how to accelerate the construction of the Silk Road and address policy barriers for Chinese companies investing in Kenya.

3. Performance: To better promote trade between China and Kenya and allow locals to learn about Chinese culture, we will organize a "Chinese Folk Culture Performance." Artists from both China and Kenya will perform together, offering a wonderful show for the entrepreneurs. The performance also has the support of the Kenyan Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
