51 years ago today, September 1, 1974 (July 15, 1974 in the lunar calendar), my country established diplomatic relations with Kenya. The capital, Nairobi, is one of the most prosperous cities in Africa. Kenya is located in eastern Africa, with the equator traversing the middle, with a land area of 582646 square kilometers, a population of 25.4 million (1994), and a population growth rate of about 4%. There are more than 40 tribes in the country, and the Kikuyu are the largest tribe in the country, followed by the Luao, Luhia, Kamba and Kalenjin. The national languages are Kiswahili and English. More than 60% of the residents believe in Christianity, while the rest are primitive religions, Islam and Hinduism. The capital city, Nairobi. Current President Moi. Kenya has experienced nearly 70 years of colonial rule. The Kenyan people have waged an arduous struggle for independence and freedom. After World War II, the famous "Maomao" Movement put forward the slogan of "Give Back Our Land" and waged an armed struggle against Britain, writing a glorious page in the history of Kenya's struggle for national independence. The heroic struggle of the Kenyan people finally forced Britain to agree to end colonial rule. Kenya declared its independence on December 12, 1963. After Kenya's independence, under the leadership of its first President Kenyatta and current President Moi, Kenya always regarded "stability and development" as the main policy of economic construction, and its achievements are impressive. Its economic development rate has remained above the average level of African countries. Between 1965 and 1973, the average annual GDP growth rate of developing countries was 6%, with African countries growing at 5%, and Kenya reaching 7.1%. During the period from 1973 to 1982, when the world economy was in general recession, the first two figures were 4.3% and 1.5% respectively, while Kenya still achieved a growth rate of 4.4. In 1987, Kenya's economic growth rate was 5%, and it is still one of the countries with better economic conditions in Africa, especially in East Africa. The reason why Kenya's economy can move forward steadily is that its policies are sound. At the time of Kenya's independence, although agricultural production and processing and manufacturing industries had become small, the government did not take measures such as nationalization to avoid economic shocks. It gradually established a "mixed economy" system with prudent and gradual policies as a transition. This system allows multiple economic components to coexist, treats public and private economies equally, and encourages competition. Currently, in Kenya's non-agricultural sector, the state-owned economy accounts for about 30%, and the private economy accounts for 70%. The government plans the overall direction of economic development and adjusts the relationship between various economic sectors by implementing five-year development plans, taxation and price policies. The second is to attach importance to agriculture. The Kenyan government has always given priority to the development of agriculture and implemented it with various policies. It gradually solves the land problems of landless farmers through moderate measures such as "redemption"; provides timely technical guidance and grants credit to farmers, encourages small farmers to develop production, and more than doubles their share in the total market volume of agricultural products within 20 years; Continuously increase food prices to prevent cheap grains from harming farmers; focus on the development of remote rural areas and continuously increase investment in rural development. In 1986, Kenya benefited a lot from rising world coffee prices and falling oil prices. In the 1986 - 1987 budget, the first priority emphasized by the government was to strengthen agricultural construction. Agricultural allocation increased by 26% compared with the previous year, stabilize the prices of agricultural production materials such as fertilizers, and provide low-interest loans to small agriculture-based businesses. Smart policies enabled Kenya to initially recover agriculture in 1985 after suffering a severe drought in 1984. It had a bumper harvest in 1986 and had more than 4 million tons of surplus grain in 1987. Once again, it is to attract foreign investment. Kenya currently has more than 4,000 foreign-funded and joint ventures. Foreign private investment in Kenya since independence has totaled US$3.5 billion. In addition, there are various grants and loans of approximately US$5 billion. A large amount of foreign investment has played an important role in promoting Kenya's economic development. In order to strive for the import of foreign investment, the Kenyan government promulgated the Foreign Investment Protection Act, etc., which stipulates that foreign-funded enterprises shall not be confiscated or nationalized under any pretext. If they need to be taken over according to law, full compensation shall be paid. In addition, supporting regulations such as taxation, prices, loans, and profits have also created a better investment environment for foreign investment. Kenya is one of the few African countries whose per capita national income has continued to grow since the mid-1980s. The average annual economic growth rate in sub-Saharan African countries in the 1980s was 1.4%. Since the mid-1980s, the Kenyan government has taken a series of policy measures to ensure a stable environment to deal with major economic structural issues that hinder economic development.
