In this special fiscal year, we participate in China International Trade The Service Fair was conducted in this context. It recommended to us a trade area that we did not notice. We have always focused on the export of goods, but the goods are subject to logistics. Therefore, we are cooperating with the Chinese Embassy in Kenya To ensure Kenya’s export services and provide potential service support.”
