Kenya's parliament and government on Tuesday voiced support for China's anti-secession law aimed at peaceful reunification of the country.

"Kenya, as a friend of China, has always supported the one-China policy and will never support Taiwan's secession from China, " Speaker of National Assembly of Kenya Francis Ole Kaparo said while meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Kenya Guo Chongli.

The Chinese ambassador briefed the Kenyan speaker on the new law, its legislative purpose and main provisions.

Guo told Kaparo that the anti-secession law is not a "law on the use of force against Taiwan," nor a "war mobilization order."

It will instead promote peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits, the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.

On the same day, the Chinese ambassador also met Kenya's Minister for Foreign Affairs Chirau Ali Mwakwere, who hailed the law as a success in China's endeavors toward peaceful reunification.

"Kenya has always supported the one-China policy and continues to uphold this position," Mwakwere said. "The government of Kenya wishes the Chinese government every success in its peaceful endeavors toward the achievement of the reunified China."

The National People's Congress, China's top legislature, on Monday enacted the law with immediate effect.
