此次推介會由中國湖南省商務(wù)廳主辦,，旨在大力加強中肯商業(yè)聯(lián)系。

Zhou Zhencheng, minister counselor at the Chinese Embassy in Kenya, said that the expo, slated for June 12-15 in the Chinese city of Changsha, has become a powerful engine for connecting African entrepreneurs with Chinese consumers as well as global value chains.

中國駐肯尼亞大使館公使銜參贊周振成介紹,，本屆中非經(jīng)貿(mào)博覽會定于6月12日至15日在中國長沙舉辦,，這也是非洲企業(yè)對接中國消費者和全球價值鏈的重要平臺。

He noted that the event symbolized the growing partnership between China and Africa and will help to deepen people-to-people ties.

他指出,，中非經(jīng)貿(mào)博覽會是中非友好合作關(guān)系不斷深化的生動體現(xiàn),，將有力促進中非民心相通,。

Guo Ning, deputy director general of the Department of Commerce of Hunan Province, said via video that CAETE is a pivotal initiative to drive China-Africa cooperation. She revealed that the expo has been successfully held for three sessions since 2019, with participation from 53 African countries, including more than 40,000 attendees and representatives of about 4,600 Chinese and African enterprises.

湖南省商務(wù)廳副廳長郭寧通過視頻介紹指出,，博覽會已成為中非經(jīng)貿(mào)合作的關(guān)鍵舉措。自2019年創(chuàng)辦以來,，中非經(jīng)貿(mào)博覽會已成功舉辦三屆,，累計吸引53個非洲國家、4600多家中非企業(yè),、超4萬人次參與。

Floice Mukabana, chief executive officer of Kenya Export Promotion and Branding Agency, said that CAETE serves as a critical platform for Kenyan exporters to connect with buyers, distributors, and partners in the vast Chinese market.

肯尼亞出口促進與品牌推廣局首席執(zhí)行官弗洛伊絲·穆卡巴納（Floice Mukabana）表示,，中非經(jīng)貿(mào)博覽會是肯尼亞出口商與中國廣大市場采購商、分銷商和合作伙伴建立聯(lián)系的重要平臺,。

Mukabana observed that China remains a critical trade and investment partner for Kenya with vast untapped export potential, especially in fresh produce, value-added agricultural and processed foods, textiles, and leather products.

他指出,，中國是肯尼亞重要貿(mào)易投資伙伴,，雙方在新鮮農(nóng)產(chǎn)品,、加工食品,、紡織品等領(lǐng)域合作潛力巨大,，有待挖掘,。

Ezekiel Mosongo, head of bilateral trade at the Ministry of Investments, Trade, and Industry, said that since its inception, the expo has grown to become a cornerstone of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, not as a marketplace for goods and services but also as a platform for innovation, dialogue and long-term collaboration.

肯尼亞投資,、貿(mào)易和工業(yè)部雙邊貿(mào)易司司長伊齊基爾·莫松戈（Ezekiel Mosongo）表示，中非經(jīng)貿(mào)博覽會已成為中非合作論壇機制下的重要基石,。它不僅是商品服務(wù)交易市場,，更是創(chuàng)新對話與長效合作的橋梁,。

Mosongo added that Kenya recognizes the expo as both a trade event and an enabler for the national development agenda, particularly in such areas as agribusiness, manufacturing, and digital innovation.

莫松戈指出，肯方將該博覽會視為一場貿(mào)易盛事,，同時也是推動國家農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展,、制造業(yè)和數(shù)字創(chuàng)新領(lǐng)域的重要力量,。
