STORYLINE:
Kenya has strengthened bilateral cooperation with China in the fields of arts, culture and sports, demonstrating a commitment to the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a senior Kenyan official told Xinhua in a recent interview.
Ababu Namwamba, cabinet secretary for youth affairs, sports and the arts, talked of his recent trip to China, which he said reaffirmed the commitment of the two long-standing friends to robust people-to-people exchanges.
In August, China and Kenya signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop the film industry, marking a significant milestone in cultural diplomacy between the two countries.

"So we now have a formal film cooperation agreement between the government of Kenya and the government of China, and this was an opportunity for us to explore the execution of that MoU."
He said that his recent visit to China was prompted by the need to implement the MoU, which focuses on exchange programs between Kenyan and Chinese film industries, as well as co-production arrangements among artists from both sides.
SOUNDBITE 2 (English): ABABU NAMWAMBA, Cabinet secretary for youth affairs, sports and the arts
"China-Kenya cooperation has been very robust. It has been very productive. We have seen what that cooperation has contributed in terms of infrastructure development, when China supported Kenya to put up the Moi International Sports Center, Kasarani, for the All-Africa Games in 1987, since that time all the way to the partnership that has delivered the SGR and the expressway (in) Nairobi. You can see clearly the outputs of Kenya-China diplomatic ties and development cooperation. It can only get better because we share so much in common."
Namwamba emphasized that Kenyan youth can leverage China's advancements in the digital space, especially in artificial intelligence, to drive economic growth and self-reliance.

"There are definitely opportunities to expand areas of cooperation in sports, in creative industries, in music, in film, in theater, in so many areas where we can link our young people."
