Jointly building the "the Belt and Road" initiative connects history, reality and future. More than 600 years ago, Chinese Ming Dynasty navigator Zheng He made seven voyages to the West and visited Kenya multiple times, promoting commercial exchanges along the Maritime Silk Road and leaving behind timeless stories. Today, China and Kenya jointly build the "the Belt and Road" in high quality, work together to create a "national landmark", a "cooperation monument" and a "livelihood project", and continue to write moving chapters to promote common development and improve people's well-being. The Nairobi Expressway - With cooperation with China, our country will have more firsts. As night falls, the Nairobi Global Trade Center located in the core business district of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, shines brightly. This project is invested and operated by AVIC International, with a tallest building of 184 meters, which is a landmark building in Nairobi. Standing at the highest point of the trade center, a modern transportation artery with bright lights runs through the entire city in sight. This transportation artery is the Nairobi Expressway, known as the "Nairobi Traffic Artery" by local media. The Nairobi Expressway has a local name called Moja, which is composed of the first two letters of the names of the starting and ending stations of the expressway. In Swahili, it means "one". "This is Kenya's first toll road project, as well as China's first government and social capital cooperation project in Kenya. As the name suggests, cooperation with China will give our country more 'firsts'." Nairobi Rapid Transit China Road and Bridge Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Road and Bridge") has invested in the development, construction and operation of a 27.1 kilometer expressway that connects the city of Nairobi to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. It passes through important landmarks such as Nairobi's core business district, National Museum, National Stadium, and Parliament Building, reducing the travel time from 2 hours to 20 minutes from the city to the airport. As of the end of September 2023, the cumulative number of vehicles passing through expressways has exceeded 22 million. Pauline lives in the satellite city of Milorongo, southeast of Nairobi. On a weekday morning, she needs to send her two children to school and then rush to the city center to work. "In the past, my children and I had to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning, and we had to leave at the latest at 5 o'clock, otherwise we would all be late. Now it only takes half an hour to get to the city center, and we no longer have to work so hard to wake up early." Kenya's Deputy Minister of Transport, Mbuga, said that while the expressway has significantly alleviated traffic congestion in Nairobi, reduced logistics costs, and promoted economic development, it has attracted more international investment to Kenya, helping it become an economic, transportation, and tourism hub in East Africa. Morgan Mukanda, who runs a tourism company in Nairobi, deeply understands this. He told reporters that tourists from various countries who come to Nairobi are highly praised for the expressway. Whether it's from the airport to hotels, or from the city to the grasslands to see wildlife, not getting stuck in traffic can save a lot of time and improve the travel experience. Entering the monitoring center of Nairobi Expressway, the large screen displays real-time footage of high-definition road network cameras along the entire 54 routes. Local duty personnel use automatic monitoring systems to monitor congestion, retrograde traffic, pedestrian crossings, and other situations in real time. China Road and Bridge Corporation
