China is willing to help Africa to realize its dream of building up a high-speed railway network, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said during his visit to Kenya on Saturday.
Chairwoman of the African Union Commission said Africans have a dream that all the capitals of African countries can be connected by high-speed railway. As a good friend of Africa, China is willing to help Africans realize this dream," Wang said.
China Road and Bridge Corp is building a Mombasa-Nairobi railway that finally will be connected to five other countries at a total cost of $13.8 billion.
"The cooperation of China with Kenya and Africa is cooperation for mutual benefit between developing countries and is the mutual support of friends between each other. We should give priority to the needs of Kenya's development and people's wishes. This is a rule that we should insist on," said Wang.
Wang Mengshu, a tunnel and railway expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said China has rich expertise and experience in designing, building and operating a high-speed rail network, so the nation should be an ideal option for any foreign countries that want to build their own high-speed rail lines.
