 Kenya strikes a preliminary trade deal with China, ministry says


Kenya has struck a preliminary trade agreement with China that allows 98.2% of its export goods duty-free market access, its trade ministry said on Thursday, adding the two sides had been holding discussions in search of a full bilateral trade deal.

Ruto has defended the rapprochement with China against criticism from some U.S. officials, saying Kenya has to export more goods to the Asian economy to close a trade gap heavily tilted in Beijing's favour.
