President William Ruto has arrived in China for a five-day state visit focused on strengthening economic ties, securing infrastructure funding and boosting Kenya's exports.
Ruto, who is the first African leader to visit Beijing since the U.S.-China trade war disrupted global commerce, was received at Beijing International Airport by Chinese Transport Minister Liu Wei.
He was accompanied by First Lady Rachel Ruto.
During the visit, Ruto will hold bilateral talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping aimed at unlocking new opportunities in trade, investment and infrastructure under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
