China has been promoting its Nanchang K-8 Karakorum jet trainer in Africa, with countries such as Eritrea and Zambia believed to be interested in the aircraft. A K-8 painted in China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation colours, probably aircraft number 206, was seen at Nairobi airport in Kenya in early October. The K-8 is being developed in collaboration with Pakistan for both countries' air forces.
