During the five-day visit, Kibaki will hold talks with President Hu Jintao, Premier Wen Jiabao and the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National people's Congress Wu Bangguo, according to the Presidential Press Service statement, according to an AFP report.

In addition, Kibaki will meet the Chinese business community in China's eastern economic powerhouse Shanghai to discuss "the untapped investment and trade opportunities in Kenya," added the statement released on Saturday.

The visit comes amid growing friendly relations and business interest in Kenya from the Asian economic giant after the two nations signed bilateral deals in March that would improve their cooperation in several fields including tourism, economic relations, information as well technology.
