 Kenya says it has finalised trade deal negotiations with China


Kenya has finalised negotiations ​over a trade deal with China, two months after ‌announcing a preliminary agreement that would grant the East African country duty-free access to the Chinese market, President William Ruto said on Wednesday, Reuters reported.


In ​January Kenya said the preliminary deal would give 98% of its exports ​duty-free access to the large Chinese market.


"We ​have this week finalised negotiations with the Government of ​the People's Republic of China on a bilateral trade agreement," Ruto told ‌a ⁠conference aimed at attracting international investment.


Kenya is also a close ally of Washington and is negotiating a separate bilateral trade accord with the Trump administration.


Ruto has defended his administration's courting ​of China against ​criticism from ⁠some U.S. officials, saying Kenya has to export more goods to the huge Asian economy ​to close the trade gap.


Ruto said on ​Wednesday that ⁠the Kenyan economy had been resilient in the past year, with inflation and the shilling currency stable.


Foreign direct investment exceeded $2 ⁠billion ​for the first time in 2025, ​up over 15% on the previous year, he added.
