Kenya is keen to trade with China in diverse areas like precision agriculture, establish domestic assembly plants and engage in value addition of farm produce and leather processing, he said.
Economic ties with China should revitalise Kenya’s manufacturing sector, healthcare, e-commerce, mining, education, finance and infrastructure development, Rutto aded.
"We pledge to ensure that the agreements forged today translate into tangible opportunities for our business communities," Rutto said.
The expo, which concluded on May 11, attracted enterprises from manufacturing, textiles and clothing, infrastructure, farm machinery, energy and information and communication technology sectors.
