The plane carrying the Chinese State Councillor Wang Yi touched down in Kenya on Friday.
The top diplomat was welcomed by Kenya's Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Amb Monica Juma at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
Both diplomats held bilateral discussions focusing on how to deepen ties.
"Today I received my brother Hon. Wang Yi, State Councillor and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China at the Moi International Airport, Mombasa. We held a meeting on our growing bilateral relationship, regional as well as international cooperation and agreed to co-chair our bilateral strategic commission in the near future in Kenya, during which we shall review the state of our expanding relations across the many sectors of cooperation..," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs CS tweeted.
Kenya and China enjoy, by and large, cordial relations.
The Asian country has been able to advance loans to Kenya to fund its development projects.
This borrowing relationship has seen the Uhuru administration come under blistering criticism for borrowing 'too much.'
Beyond the borrowing, the warm relationship between the two countries has seen Chinese workers work on million-dollar projects in Kenya.
The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and the Thika Road Super Highway were both built by the Chinese.
