国内英语资讯:China seeks to enhance ties with Kenya on development of digital economy

Zhao said that Kenya, as the largest economy in east Africa, has achieved remarkable results in the development of the digital economy.

"It is undoubted that there will be great opportunities for China and Kenya to carry out in-depth cooperation in the digital economy," she added.

CFIS expects to build up a communicating platform for companies from China and Kenya to promote the continuous improvement of China-Kenya digital industrialization through the symposium, Zhao said.

Peng Lihui, secretary general of China Electronics Chamber of Commerce (CECC), invited Kenyan organizations to join the Global Digital Economy Alliance (D50), which was initiated by CECC and 50 national industrial organizations and leading enterprises.

In the symposium, Jacqueline Sigu, manager of county programme and small and medium enterprises development at Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry , said that the Kenyan government has already developed a blueprint for the digital economy, which will accelerate Kenya's ambition to automate government and private sector business operations, while noting that the high cost of infrastructure remains a big challenge.

She said that China is an ideal partner for Kenya in the ICT sector because it is a world leader in digital innovations. "Kenya's business community could borrow lessons from China that can adapt to meet local conditions," she said.
