President Uhuru Kenyatta has asked China to give preferential treatment to goods from Africa as it continues opening up its vast market to the rest of the world. Uhuru called on Chinese President Xi Jinping to enact measures to proactively raise the volume of goods coming from the African continent to China. His tone was similar to that which he used when he held bilateral talks with Jinping on Sunday demanding more open markets for Kenyan goods. The trade fair is being attended by representatives from more than 130 countries keen to explore the new opportunities being offered by an open China. President Xi also said that China will start releasing the funds and investments worth USD 60 billion it pledged at the recent Forum on China Africa Cooperation.
