On June 7, 2007, Kenya and China signed a memorandum of understanding for the launch of a joint Kenya-China Economic and Trade website to be funded by China as a platform for sharing information on policies and regulations on trade and investment. The MOU, which was signed by Kenyan Trade and Industry Minister Mukhisa Kituyi and Chinese Ambassador Zhang Ming on behalf of Chinese Ministry of Commerce, will also enable the two countries share information on macroeconomic data, industry and market, business and products, imports and exports among others. The website was launched in April and finalized on June 7, 2007. The amount is unknown.
