In his speech, Liu Xianfa, the Chinese ambassador to Kenya, noted that the China-Kenya relationship has reached historic heights over the recent past, "bringing along more and more tangible benefits to the peoples of both countries."
Liu said that the Chinese language class, as a diplomat's capacity building program, is a testimony to enhanced cooperation from both sides. "I am convinced, with joint efforts of both countries' diplomats, the Chinese Dream and the Kenya Vision 2030 will bring the two countries ever closer in carrying out common development, integrate our shared interests and combine the wishes and aspirations of both peoples towards common development and prosperity."
