Over 100 companies are expected to participate in the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo, scheduled to take place in Abuja from November 28 to 30. The event, which will be held at the Abuja Trade & Convention Centre, aims to promote economic and trade cooperation between China and Africa.
Organized by a group of agencies affiliated with the Hunan Province of China and the Nigerian Federal Trade Agency, the expo will feature a series of activities focused on multiple sectors, including investment and trade, infrastructure, healthcare, and engineering machinery.
The theme of the event is “China and Africa Joining Hands for a Better Future.” Highlights of the expo include the China-Africa Infrastructure Cooperation Forum (Nigeria), the China-Africa Business & Healthcare Matchmaking Conference, and an exhibition showcasing Chinese engineering technology products.
The exhibition will feature seven areas showcasing products in new energy, construction materials, machinery, power transmission and distribution, home appliances and furniture, manufacturing, and general infrastructure.
The China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo has been successfully held for three sessions, creating a new window for local economic and trade cooperation with Africa. The previous session, held in Changsha, Hunan, in June 2023, attracted over 1,700 exhibitors and resulted in 120 signed projects worth US$10.3 billion.
The expo is expected to provide a platform for Chinese and African businesses to explore new opportunities for cooperation and collaboration.
