“True friends always feel close to each other, no matter the distance between them.” Cultures become diverse through exchange, and civilisations become enriched through mutual learning. A diverse array of events will be held after the opening ceremony, including the live broadcast of the Great Migration in Masai Mara, the Friendship Sports Games, the Chinese Cuisine competition, the Animation Film Festival, and the China TV Play Festival. These events will further invigorate the cultural and tourism cooperation between our countries, enhance mutual understanding and friendship between our two peoples and inject important impetus to building an even closer China-Kenya community with a shared future for the new era.
