Wang Kang, vice-president of the bank, addressed the event. Representatives from the Kenyan embassy in China, the Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry, the Kenya Investment Authority and businesses involved in trade and investment also attended and delivered remarks. The event was also attended by representatives from over 20 Chinese organizations, including government bodies, enterprises, and financial institutions. 

　　Wang said Kenya is a priority country for the bank’s support in Africa, and that the bank has remained committed to deepening practical cooperation between the two countries. 

　　China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) gives greater prominence to developing new quality productive forces in line with local conditions, Wang said. Supporting their development is also a business priority for the bank, aligning with Kenya’s vision for cooperation and development needs.  

　　The bank will further strengthen its financial services to advance bilateral cooperation on industrial and supply chains and the energy transition, he said, contributing to the building of a China-Kenya community with a shared future in the new era. 

　　Lee Kinyanjui, Kenya’s cabinet secretary for investments, trade and industry, said China EximBank has long provided strong financial support for Kenya’s modern infrastructure development, laying a solid foundation for cooperation and delivering substantial results. 

　　The implementation of major projects such as the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway, along with the signing of an agreement for an intelligent transport system project, will bring further benefits to local people, he said. 

　　Kenya has considerable room for development in energy, transport, manufacturing, investment and financing, Kinyanjui said. He expressed hope for closer dialogue with the bank to deepen practical cooperation and deliver better results in these areas. 

　　The event provided a platform for exchanges among government, banking and business representatives from both countries. It showcased Kenya’s investment policies and industrial development opportunities, supported Chinese companies seeking to invest and operate in Kenya, and offered professional assistance for expanding cross-border investment and financing cooperation. 

　　During the event, China EximBank and participating institutions outlined their respective product strengths, service offerings and cooperation needs, with a focus on cross-border partnerships. 

　　At an open networking session, experts involved in MAZU, the intelligent meteorological early warning system developed by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), joined Chinese and Kenyan business representatives to explore trade and investment opportunities. Discussions covered smart disaster prevention and mitigation, digital technology, smart agriculture, smart healthcare, new energy, infrastructure and connectivity. 

　　As a major financial institution supporting foreign trade, investment and international economic cooperation, China EximBank has played a leading role in supporting the Belt and Road Initiative and promoting China-Africa cooperation.  

　　The bank said it will continue to draw on its expertise in international trade and investment financing and use its "Country Day" series to facilitate exchanges. Through integrated financing, knowledge and business matchmaking services, it aims to help translate more cooperation opportunities into tangible results.
