中国与肯尼亚友好合作：英文

内容简介

肯尼亚是人类文明发祥地之一, 曾发现250万年前的人类化石, 而中国也有悠久的文化传承, 加上两国很早开始交往, 有人就想到通过考古去追踪两国交流的历史。中肯交流至少可追溯到15世纪郑和船队抵达肯尼亚, 在拉穆群岛及周边有很多人自称是中国人后代, 那里还一直流传着有关郑和船队有船只在此沉没、水手留在当地生活的传说。中国已经成为肯尼亚年轻人追求高学历和职业技能的首选之一。有机会来到中国学习的肯尼亚年轻人能够接触到中国的语言和文化, 结识中国朋友。当然, 他们自己也成为肯尼亚（在中国）的使者。目前, 在肯尼亚已有四所孔子学院、三个新的“中国角”, 这些, 都是两国语言文化交流的纽带。如今, 在多个领域的务实合作, 使两国关系有了新的突破点。中国在肯尼亚的投资迅速增长, 贸易量大幅提高, 中国已成为肯尼亚最大贸易伙伴、最大投资者和最大项目承包者。

Kenya is one of the birthplaces of human civilization, and human fossils dating back 2.5 million years have been found. China also has a long cultural heritage, and since the two countries began to interact with each other at a very early stage, some people have thought of tracing the history of exchanges between the two countries through archaeology. Sino-Kenyan exchanges can be traced back to at least the 15th century when Zheng He's fleet arrived in Kenya, and there are many people in and around the Lamu Islands who claim to be of Chinese descent, and there are still legends circulating there about the ships of Zheng He's fleet that sank there and the sailors who stayed behind to live in the area. China has become one of the top choices for young Kenyans seeking higher education and vocational skills. Young Kenyans who have the opportunity to study in China are exposed to the Chinese language and culture and make Chinese friends. And, of course, they become ambassadors for Kenya (in China) themselves. Currently, there are four Confucius Institutes and three new “China Corners” in Kenya, all of which serve as a link between the two countries in terms of language and cultural exchange. Nowadays, practical cooperation in many areas has led to new breakthroughs in the relationship between the two countries. China's investment in Kenya has grown rapidly, and the volume of trade has increased dramatically, making China Kenya's largest trading partner, largest investor and largest project contractor.
