Mudavadi is accompanied by the Principal Secretary of State Department for Parliamentary Affairs, Aurelia Rono among other notable government officials.

The visit was extended at the invitation of Wang Yi, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs for China.
