Chinese partnership with Kenya has energized a Chinese based global manufacture AVIC International Holding Corporation which is set to construct a $200mn office complex in Nairobi Kenya which is expected to be its African Headquarters.
The offices suites that will be located in Westlands in Nairobi got a major boost after the city council of Nairobi gave Avic International Kenya a go ahead to bring up the building in the area.
According to the global manufacturer’s Africa Director Huang Hong the company decided to build its Africa headquarters in Kenya considering the fact that Kenya and China are currently having a firm relationship which has given the company a conducive business environment.
He added that the company is looking forward to expand its business in the African countries considering the fact that they have already 110 branches in more than 50 countries across the world and in Africa they have over 20 branches and Kenya will be their headquarters in Africa.
The company’s director also said their African headquarters will cover 2500 square meters in a 7 acre site in Westlands Nairobi and this will accommodate residential units for their staffs and a hotel.
The Avic International Kenya project is expected to be a great boost to Kenyans as it will create approximately about 3000 job opportunities and 4000 once the project is complete.
According to Avic International President Wu Guangquan they are glad the Kenyan government has given them the support they need and they believe they will deliver the jobs that they have already promised the locals.
According to the Chinese ambassador to Kenya Liu Xianfa said they are committed to see the two countries get their partnership bear fruits and he congratulated the Avic International for choosing Kenya to be a their Africa headquarters.
Avic International Kenya has ongoing mega projects in Kenya which includes the construction of Terminal 4 at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and the Greenfield Airport.
