Premier Li Keqiang says China and Kenya are facing similar tasks and challenges when it comes to disaster prevention and poverty reduction.
He has called on the two sides to work together to achieve more comprehensive development.
For his part, Kenyatta says the Kenyan government appreciates China's long-term support.
Meantime, chief of China's largest policy lender, China Development Bank, says the bank has invested 250-million US dollars in Kenya's infrastructure 2 projects, its finance sector 3 and small businesses.
Those funds have been used to popularize the use of digital television and are expected to go into hydro-power, thermal-power and development park projects.
Zheng Zhijie says it was part of the 18.9-billion-dollars of outstanding loans the CDB has brought to African countries so far.
Also Kenyan officials say Kenyatta's state visit has helped unlock billions of dollars to finance the country's key development projects.
These projects include a railway linking the capital Nairobi with Mombasa and Malaba.
Kenyan officials say the 5-billion-dollars worth of projects have been under discussion for months under the guidance of President Kenyatta.
China is the second largest trading partner to Kenya, with an annual bilateral 4 trade of some 2.8 billion US dollars.
