Chapter 133: Those Things in the Country
Updated in time, Qin Hong reported to the domestic ventilation and did not hide it from Yang Weiping.
For this reason, Yang Weiping also went to the Chinese Embassy in Kenya with her.
China and Kenya established diplomatic relations on December 14, 1963. Kenya closed its embassy in China in October 1967 due to ideological differences and other reasons.
In March 1969, Kenny Yan unilaterally decided to downgrade the relationship between the two countries to the level of chargΓ© d'affaires. In September 1974, diplomatic relations between the two countries were restored at the ambassadorial level.
Yang Weiping is not interested in exploring what international political contradictions have occurred between China and Kenya during this period, but he is still more concerned about the Chinese embassy in Kenya.
It can be predicted that his future investment in Kenya will inevitably involve dealing with the staff of the Chinese Embassy in Kenya.
This is the ninth night of Yang Weiping's visit to Kenya, and it is also the day that Yang Weiping and Qian Lao agreed to exchange international calls.
At eight o'clock, Yang Weiping appeared in the office of Ambassador Wang Yueyi on time.
Wang Yueyi didn't know what Yang Weiping's relationship was with China, but he did know that this world-famous young scientist is now the most popular investor and big capitalist in Kenya.
Yang Weiping changed into a straight black high-necked nine-button slim tunics tonight, and stood with Ambassador Wang in a gray tunic, looking particularly tall and straight.
"Hello, Mr. Yang. The domestic call came at 8:15. After Wang Yueyi shook hands with Yang Weiping as a salute, he politely invited Yang Weiping to sit down on the sofa.
"Thank you, Mr. Ambassador. Before Yang Weiping sat down, he nodded politely to Ambassador Wang.
"You're welcome, Mr. Yang. Wang Yueyi smiled with the professional smile that diplomats are used to, "Mr. Yang is really young and promising, I have dealt with many Chinese businessmen abroad, but it is rare to be able to do such a big career and have such a prominent reputation as Mr. Yang." β
"Hehe, I'm just a little bit luckier than others. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently. "Mr. Ambassador, if it is convenient, I would like to know about the current situation of Huaxia's construction projects in Africa. For example, the Tanzan Railway. β
"Have you heard of the Tanzan Railway?" asked Wang Yueyi, obviously a little surprised.
"Taizu once humorously said that our Huaxia was carried into the United Nations by African friends. Yang Weiping replied with a smile: "The Tanzan Railway can be said to be indispensable. β
This is true. Without the solidarity and support of these African countries, it is very likely that New China would not have been recognized by the United Nations by now. Wang Yueyi nodded with emotion and replied: "Since the 50s, China has begun to implement the policy of foreign aid construction, and Africa is the most important region for China's aid construction.
Today, in most countries in Africa, we can see the infrastructure we have helped build, such as roads, railways, ports, factories, schools and stadiums. Thereinto. The Tanzan Railway is undoubtedly the longest, the largest investment, and the largest large-scale project with the largest amount of manpower.
The engineering survey began in Tanzania on May 15, 1968, started construction in Tanzania on October 26, 1970, opened to traffic on June 7, 1975, officially handed over to the operation and management of Tanzania Railway Bureau on July 14, 1976, and officially operated on July 23, 1976. The total cost of the project is about $500 million.
In this large-scale project, China has dispatched 56,000 engineering personnel. At the peak, there were 15,000 engineers on site in China. 830,000 tons of materials and machinery were invested. Interest-free loans of RMB988 million.
Today, after the completion of the railway, it is under the joint management of the railway bureaus of Tanzania and Zambia, and our country continues to provide interest-free loans and technical support to assist its operation. β
"Perhaps, I can build another railway in Kenya and connect this railway with the Tanzania-Zambia railway in the name of Huaxia's aid. Yang Weiping nodded thoughtfully and said, "The personnel are provided by China." I'll be responsible for all the funding. Ambassador Wang, you can send this message. Report to the country in the form of an official document. ββ¦,
