🌍✨ For the first time ever, Burundi is making its mark at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, running from November 5-10. This prestigious event, the world’s first national-level expo dedicated solely to imports, offers a vibrant platform for countries to showcase their unique products and connect with a global marketplace.
Alfred Burimaso, First Counselor at the Embassy of Burundi in China, emphasized the significance of this participation. \"Burundi is seizing this moment to present our distinctive goods to a broader audience,\" he said. The expo not only highlights Burundi’s rich offerings but also leverages China's zero-tariff policy for least-developed countries, making it easier for African businesses to enter and thrive in new markets.
The CIIE provides an unparalleled opportunity for African entrepreneurs and professionals to gain visibility and engage with potential partners and investors from around the world. \"The vast marketplace of CIIE is a game-changer for African businesses looking to expand globally,\" Burimaso added.
Moreover, Burundi’s participation strengthens economic ties with China and the international community, fostering collaborations that are set to drive growth and development. As China continues its commitment to opening up its markets, events like the CIIE play a crucial role in building a more interconnected and prosperous global economy.
