President William Ruto has wrapped up his state visit to China, during which he secured a series of agreements spanning infrastructure, healthcare, security, and trade.

The visit marks a new phase in the growing ties between Kenya and China, especially in light of ongoing global trade tensions.

The agreements, signed with Chinese President Xi Jinping, aim to further strengthen Kenya-China relations, with a particular focus on infrastructure development and economic benefits.

In a joint statement, the two leaders outlined plans for direct air links, an extension of the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), enhanced healthcare collaboration, and reinforced security and financial partnerships.
