On August 9, Kenya's "Banner" published a reporter's report on the interview with the Ambassador to Kenya Zhou Pingjian a few days ago.

Regarding the US Congress President Perosi visited Taiwan, Ambassador Zhou said that there is only one China in the world. Taiwan is an indispensable part of China's territory. The government of the People's Republic of China is the only legal government representing the whole of China. The Taiwan issue is the most important, core and sensitive issue in Sino -US relations. In 1979, the United States clearly promised in the China -US establishment diplomatic commissioned commissioned commissioned public. Princess Pelosi is the current leader of the United States Congress. She went to Taiwan to go to Taiwan in any form, and it was a major political provocation that upgraded the official exchanges of the United States and Taiwan. The Chinese side would never accept it. The Chinese people never agreed. In response to the US Speakers to visit Taiwan, China, China has taken all necessary measures to resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. All the consequences of this must be responsible for the division of the United States and "Taiwan independence". Playing firemen must balion. "Relying on Mei Mou" is dead, and "Taiwan -based China" is destined to fail. As two big powers, China and the United States can only get along with each other to respect each other, live peacefully, avoid confrontation, and win -win cooperation.

Regarding China -Kenya relations and pragmatic cooperation, Ambassador Zhou said that China and Kenya are comprehensive strategic partners. The pragmatic cooperation results in various fields of both sides have abundant results, mutual benefit and win -win results, and strong momentum. Since the beginning of this year, the East Ring Road of Nairobi, Nairobi West Ring Road, Nairobi Expressway, Kanmann New Dam Water Supply Project, and Monbara Oil Wharf have been completed. Ken's fresh avocado began to export to China, the first among African countries. The Mongolian railway has been operating for more than 5 years, transporting more than 8 million passengers and more than 1.8 million benchmarks. It is rare to achieve these achievements under the situation of the new crown epidemic. The "Nine Projects" of the China -Africa Cooperation Forum are in line with the eight priorities in the global development initiative. Looking forward to the future, I believe that China -Ken's relations will be stronger. The two countries have become a firm and supporting partner, the partners who accelerate the development of the revitalization, the partners to promote the unity of China and Africa, and the partners to maintain regional peace.

Regarding China -Ken's financing cooperation, Ambassador Zhou said that the proportion of Chinese creditors' debt in Kenye's foreign debt is less than 20%. China is not Kenya's largest creditors, and the label to attract China to major creditors is obviously exaggerated. The loan provided by China, whether it is a preferential or commercial nature, is used to support specific projects, which is the result of equal negotiation and mutual cooperation between the two parties. The fruitful results of China -Key financing cooperation are real, and they are obvious to all. China has never imposed any loans or any projects to any country. China Ken cooperation is bright, and China respects Kenya's sovereignty, willingness and domestic legal procedures. The addition of confidentiality clauses in business contracts meet business practices and international practices, and China has not interfered or concealed. The accusations of the Chinese side have no basis and unreasonable.

Regarding China and Africa, Ambassador Zhou said that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which is about to be held, is a very important conference held by China at a critical moment to enter a new journey of building a new socialist modern country. Twenty generals scientifically plan the goals and tasks of the development of Chinese party and state in the next 5 years or even more. China will only become more and more open. Regardless of China's development, Africa is always a long -term friend of China. China is willing to adhere to the correct concept of righteousness and truth and true sincerity, and to implement the achievements of the Dakar conference of the China -Africa Cooperation Forum, Global Development initiative, and global security initiative to promote high -quality co -construction of the “Belt and Road” to achieve common prosperity Essence (Source: Embassy in Kenya)
