Trade with China gets personal

As the last day of the China Trade Week drew to a close in Nairobi, visitors surged in before the doors closed at 4 pm to pick up bargains and secure contacts.

Bargaining had started in earnest at noon among customers who were determined to buy high-quality products. Exhibitors soon ran out of business cards and opted to write down the names of prospective partners.

Made-in-China solar lamps, wigs and steam irons were among the items generating lots of interest at the Kenyatta International Convention Center.
