China's President Hu Jintao is in Kenya, the final stop of his three-nation trip to Africa.
Mr. Hu is expected to sign offshore oil and gas exploration agreements in Nairobi Friday.
Thursday, Mr. Hu wrapped up a two-day visit to Nigeria with an address to Parliament in which he urged a strategic partnership between China and Africa.
During his visit, Nigeria agreed to award China four oil drilling licenses in exchange for a promised $4-billion investment in Nigeria's infrastructure.
Earlier this week, Mr. Hu was in Morocco, where he signed agreements on trade, science, culture and health care.
