In his hometown, the Inner Mongolia Railway, a landmark project of the Belt and Road Initiative, which connects the port of Mombasa and the capital Nairobi, has been operating safely for more than 6 years, driving local economic growth by more than two percentage points and vigorously promoting the interconnection of East Africa.
