The Fourth China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (CAETE) has commenced in Changsha, Hunan Province, spotlighting the expanding economic partnership between China and African countries. This year’s event brings together a broad spectrum of exhibitors representing diverse industries from across Africa, aiming to boost trade ties, attract investments, and encourage cultural dialogue. As policymakers and business leaders convene to explore innovative collaborations, the expo highlights China’s ongoing dedication to reinforcing economic cooperation with Africa amid a swiftly shifting global environment.

Featuring an extensive program of exhibitions, workshops, and networking sessions, CAETE 2024 is positioned as a crucial forum for establishing new alliances that support sustainable growth on both continents.

This edition of CAETE serves as an influential platform where stakeholders from both regions engage in meaningful dialogue centered on trade expansion and investment diversification. The expo showcases participants from sectors such as agriculture innovation, digital technology advancements, infrastructure development projects, and renewable energy initiatives.

A notable focus this year is on green technologies aimed at environmental sustainability.

Interactive seminars provide platforms for government officials alongside private sector leaders to devise actionable strategies that translate into tangible outcomes beyond the expo floor.
