Author(s): Mikael Barkhudaryan
Abstract: This paper conducts a comparative analysis of China's trade agreements with Russia and Kenya, focusing on the evolution of bilateral economic cooperation. The study examines the historical context, the strategic motivations behind these agreements, and the key outcomes achieved over time. For Russia, the analysis highlights how strategic partnerships, particularly within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), have shaped the bilateral trade dynamics. In Kenya's case, the paper explores how China's economic engagement has evolved from diplomatic relations to significant investments in infrastructure and development projects. The study concludes that China's trade agreements with both countries are underpinned by mutual economic interests, which have led to sustained and growing partnerships. Future research is needed to fully assess the long-term implications of these agreements and the shifting dynamics in global economic cooperation.
