　　On April 24, Xi held talks with Kenyan President William Ruto in Beijing, saying the fundamental purpose of China-Africa cooperation for win-win results and common development will not change, which is a welcome policy statement from a major country in a world full of uncertainty.

　　Trade wars undermine the existing international rules and order, and Kenya appreciates China's role as a stabilizer in the current volatile situation, Ruto said.

　　After the talks, the two heads of state witnessed the signing of 20 cooperation documents in areas such as the Belt and Road Initiative, new and high technology, people-to-people and cultural exchanges, economy and trade, and media.

　　As certainty and stability increasingly become scarce globally, not only political leaders but also business community turn to China for certainty and stability.
