President Uhuru Kenyatta joined the people of China in celebrating the Chinese New Year by sending an exclusive goodwill message.
He was speaking on Sunday, before the Lunar New Year which officially began on February 5, 2019.
The Head of State pointed out about the partnership between Kenya and China.
"The friendship and partnership between Kenya and China is very old, in recent years, we have drawn even closer together, with tight cooperation now across a whole range of areas, from industry to infrastructure.
"That co-operation has changed the lives of ordinary people in both countries, here in Kenya, we see it most clearly in the Standard Gauge Railway, the region’s most ambitious infrastructure project," he stated.
He added that the current projects were a symbol of what could be achieved when the two nations collaborate.
"Much has been done, much remains to be done. I look forward, as do the people of Kenya, to working with China, a true partner and friend, in the year to come. Happy New Year!" he noted.
In China, the festivities are known as Spring Festival or Lunar New Year and lasts for 15 days.
