Kenya Committed to One-China Policy

Mohammed Affey, assistant minister of Kenya's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, said Monday in Nairobi that Kenya was committed to One-China policy.

Affey made the remarks when he met with Li Tieying, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Li is leading a CPC delegation visiting this eastern African country at the invitation of the Kenya African National Union (KANU), Kenya's ruling party.

Affey said Kenya and China enjoyed warm and friendly relations and were cooperative in many fields, adding that "China is Kenya's real friend. We are committed to One-China policy and respect China's position on the issue of human rights".

He expressed the hope that the visiting Chinese delegation would exchange experiences with the KANU on issues related to the political party building.

Li Tieying said the Chinese leaders, including those of the old generations, had attached great importance to the friendly relations with Kenya and other developing countries in Africa.

He noted that China and Kenya and other African countries supported each other in many international affairs, saying "our friendly relations are built on the basis of mutual benefit, equality and cooperation".

The CPC delegation arrived here on Sunday and will leave here for South Africa on Wednesday.
