Huizhou's Africa fair charts future course

The authorities in Huizhou, Guangdong province, will hold a commodity exhibition fair in Johannesburg, South Africa in November to promote trade and economic cooperation with African countries.

"Organizing the trade event is part of our efforts to develop the business potential in the emerging markets in Africa, as we are facilitating ties with countries situated along the ancient Maritime Silk Road," said Wang Guangjun, director of the local foreign trade and economic cooperation authority.

"We hope more African people know better about products made in Huizhou," Wang said. "We also hope to import more products from Africa to Huizhou as boosted imports will help facilitate healthy bilateral business ties."
