Over 100 companies are expected to participate in the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo.
Organisers of the event announced this on Monday in a statement by Zhang Ji, Secretary of the China General Chamber of Commerce in Nigeria (CGCCN).
According to Ji, the event, scheduled to take place in Abuja from November 28 to November 30, 2024, will not only showcase a broad range of products but will also place significant emphasis on Chinese engineering technology.
The organising committee, which includes more than eight agencies affiliated with Hunan Province in China and the Nigerian Federal Trade Agency, confirmed that the expo will be held at the Abuja Trade & Convention Centre.
“The theme of this year’s expo is “China and Africa Joining Hands for a Better Future” and will feature a series of activities across multiple sectors, including investment and trade, infrastructure, healthcare, and engineering machinery.
“This event will introduce leading enterprises from Hunan and present the investment and trade environment in various African countries through representatives from African chambers of commerce, investment promotion agencies, and businesses,” according to the statement.
Key focus areas will include healthcare, new energy, manufacturing, construction materials, textiles, fisheries, and infrastructure development, facilitating “one-on-one” discussions between Hunan enterprises and African business associations.”
In May 2024, the inaugural China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo in Africa took place in Nairobi, resulting in 43 signed projects worth $1.402 billion.
