The success of projects like the Standard Gauge Railway, the Moja Expressway, and the magnificent GTC towers, also known as the “I love Nairobi” building, serve as a testament to the potential within the infrastructural domain. The Belt and Road Initiative can further amplify the impact of such ventures, providing a platform for dialogue and collaboration that goes beyond physical connectivity to play an important role in the continent's industrialization and economic transformation.

In his response, President Xi Jinping urged the alumni to dedicate themselves to realising the plans of the Belt and Road cooperation and the China-Kenya comprehensive strategic cooperation partnership. As we look towards the future, the alumni and the younger generations, with their dynamism and innovative spirit, will play a crucial role in shaping the trajectory of our nations. FOCAC, by fostering cooperation in education, research, and tourism, will empower the youth to become ambassadors of a shared future, fostering enduring friendships between our countries.

As China prepares to host the 2024 FOCAC meeting, let us all continue to explore ways to strengthen the bond between Kenya and China. Seizing opportunities in education, research, infrastructure, tourism, and beyond propels us on a dynamic path to shape a future defined by shared prosperity and enhanced mutual understanding.

Dr Henry Rotich
Chairman, Kenya-China Alumni Association

The Kenya China Alumni Association, would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the gracious response from the President of the People’s Republic of China Mr. Xi JinPing to the letter from representatives and alumni of Kenyan students at Beijing Jiaotong University. The congratulatory message resonates deeply with the joy we share in appreciating the invaluable education we received in China.

We acknowledge the historical ties between Kenya and China and recognize the significance of the Belt and Road project, particularly the Standard Gauge Railway, as a "railway of happiness" linking our nations. The encouragement for us to be architects of the shared future is both inspiring and humbling.

The Alumni Association, which comprises of about 1500 members is committed to shaping the future of our countries through infrastructure development and cultural diplomacy. We are currently working on projects that will further put to use the knowledge and expertise we have acquired from our studies in China. This include; the Chinese Mashinani Initiative which seeks to disseminate Chinese language and culture in the rural parts of Kenya, organizing cultural events like the Chinese Food Extravaganza, capacity building of members through interpreter training and other thematic trainings, professional workshops, networking. Our goal is to further explore the potential of the symbiotic relationship between Kenya and China.

Joseph Maritim, Kenya's first alumni in China, stands as a testament to the transformative impact of education received in your country. As a seasoned engineer, he has contributed significantly to Nairobi's skyline with his work on numerous skyscrapers. His success exemplifies the potential within each Kenyan student who studies in China.

We urge fellow alumni to follow suit, becoming catalysts for change in Kenya by applying the skills acquired in China in a transformative manner. By doing so, we aim to contribute to the growth and prosperity of both nations, building a stronger foundation for the shared future you envision.
We would like express our best wishes for the enduring friendship between Kenya and China.
Sincerely,

Dr Henry Kibet Rotich
