Chapter 853 Meeting with President Kenya

When Fang Zhe left United Nations Headquarters in Africa, a large group of people, including Eric, the Administrator of the United Nations Environment Programme, and Msua, the Executive Director, came to the door to escort him.

As the convoy left the United Nations campus, Fang Zhe also deliberately scanned a tree seedling on a remote lawn.

That tree was a palm tree planted by Fang Zhe himself in the presence of all the people.

The tree will also be a witness to Fang Chue's visit to United Nations Headquarters in Africa and another interesting scenery on the United Nations campus.

That evening, accompanied by Adam Muhammad, Minister of Industry and Trade Cooperation of Kenya, Fong Chul met with Uhuru Kenyatta, President of Kenya.

Kenyatta is the son of Kenyan founding President Jomo Kenyatta, who has been in power for four years now. Kenyatta is very enthusiastic about the arrival of Fang Zhe.

Beginning at 20 o'clock in the evening, outside the presidential palace in the heart of Nairobi, the welcoming Kenyatta personally greeted Fang Zhe at the door.

After a warm hug, Kenyatta invited Fang Zhe to dinner.

“Mr. Fong Chul, I've heard a lot about you.

I didn't expect you to come to this poor and backward place in Africa in person! "

At the dinner, Kenyatta's candid self-evaluation of Africa made Fang Zhe a haha.

“Madam President, you are joking that, in my view, Africa is a place of hope and opportunity, just as China was before reform and opening up.”Fong Zhe interprets Africa from a different perspective.

Kenyatta waved with a smile: "You merchants always have a unique vision. No wonder you are so young to become the richest man in the world. I studied in the United States at your age.

However, perhaps Africa as a whole was a single African country before your reform and opening up of China, but it was hardly comparable to China at that time.

For example, we in Kenya have neither many people nor many natural resources. It is very difficult to become a rich and developed country! "

Fang Zhe didn't rush to interact with Kenyatta. He thought about it and said:

“There are similarities in many countries in the world. For example, like China, China, Korea, Japan and other countries, they are also resource-poor countries. Although the population is quite large, they also faced the same development difficulties as Kenya decades ago.

But now that these two countries have become world famous developed countries and world powers, how do you think they developed, Mr. President? "

Fang Zhe asked Kenyatta this question. He could not think of an accurate answer.

After a moment, Kenyatta answered vaguely: "I think they seized the opportunity of American support during the Cold War, like Europe, but also under the influence of the American Marshall Plan to recover quickly and become a developed country.

Of course, there is also their influence on national policies, talent, etc.

Frankly, I can't be very precise because I have a more limited understanding of the history of your East Asian country. "

Fang Chue laughed and praised: "Mr President, you already know a lot, and the Marshall Plan has helped Europe revive and rise.

Korea and Japan, too, have become today's developed countries as a result of the support and efforts of the United States.

Both countries are foreign-trade countries, and the United States was their largest export market before it was replaced by China in recent years. "

Fang Zhe said here, Kenyatta stared at Fang Zhe's eyes, he was guessing what Fang Zhe meant.

Fang Zhe said: "The world has seen the rise of China, and there are many experts. Scholars predict that China will surpass the United States as the world's top country.

China's huge population, market, gives other countries enormous opportunities for development, just as the United States used to be in Europe, South Korea, Japan and other countries.

Any country can take advantage of China's development momentum to achieve take-off.

As one of China's most important partners in Africa, you and the entire country have witnessed support for China's Belt and Road Initiative.

Soon you will see the benefits and benefits of the Monnet Railway as a benchmark Belt and Road project for the entire Kenyan economy.

So I think that if you, Mr. President, really want to develop Kenya as a prosperous and rich developed country, then strengthening cooperation with us in China will be one of the most effective ways and means. ”

Kenyatta hesitated. Behind Fang Zhe's world's richest identity is a Chinese identity. It is not surprising that he tried to persuade himself and Kenya to strengthen their cooperation with China.

In fact, Kenyatta does want Kenya to hold the Chinese thigh, but:

“In fact, I have always hoped to strengthen cooperation between Kenya and China. It is just that we in Kenya want resources without resources and population without population. Even if I want to strengthen cooperation with you in China, there are no good ways and measures.”

Fang Zhe listened and smiled:

“We in China attach great importance to the Belt and Road Initiative. You and Kenyan can be an example of this initiative in Africa. Apart from the Monnet Railway, many infrastructure projects in Kenya can also be constructed in cooperation with China.

In addition, you and Kenya should also show strong support for China in various aspects of international cooperation, such as the voice of international public opinion and the United Nations.

Since ancient times, we in China have had the virtue of showering water. If Kenya can stand firmly with China and let its senior leaders see Kenyan support for China, then we in China will certainly give Kenya more rewards and thanks.

In the past, China was not strong enough. Many Chinese allies and partners can only influence the source and worry about the attitude of the United States.

And now, the more powerful China comes along, whether China supports allies or allies supports China, the stronger and stronger it should be. ”

Kenyatta thought, but the hesitation and indecisiveness on his face, even Fang Zhe can see at a glance.

No matter how powerful China is depicted in the philosophy of the administering Power, it cannot be denied that the most powerful country in the world today is the United States.

The United States is the world's police. It has more power than China in military, economic, technological, diplomatic and many other aspects.

Ignoring the interests of the United States, simply holding China's thighs is very likely that in a few days there will be a march, civil unrest, a color revolution in Kenya.

While Kenyatta hesitated, Fang Zhe made a final exhortation:

“In my opinion, whether it is business or rule, risks and opportunities coexist. Countries such as South Korea and Japan, as frontiers of the Cold War against the Soviet Union, gained the support of the United States.

The rising China is certainly most grateful to its friends for helping it when it needs it most, and hopes that you, President, can think clearly and make the choices that best suit you and the Kenyan people. ”
