中国国际进口博览会自2018年举办以来，已成为中国向全球伙伴开放市场、推动创新、促进跨境贸易合作的重要标志。
Since its establishment in 2018, the
CIIE has become a hallmark of China's commitment to opening its market to
global partners, fostering innovation, and facilitating cross-border trade and
cooperation.2024年进博会在李强总理主持下正式开幕，本届博览会以“新时代，共享未来”为主题，突出了可持续高质量增长在推动全球经济一体化中的作用。博览会吸引了来自129个国家和地区的3500多家参展商，向潜在买家和投资者展示了各种商品和服务。

卢旺达参加进博会的代表团由贸易和工业部部长Prudence
Sebahizi率领，卢旺达驻华大使詹姆斯·基莫尼奥和卢旺达发展委员会副首席执行官Juliana
Kangeli Muganza女士随行。
Rwanda’s delegation to the expo was led
by Hon. Prudence Sebahizi, Minister of Trade and Industry, accompanied by Ambassador
James Kimonyo, Rwanda’s envoy to China, and Ms. Juliana Kangeli Muganza,
Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Rwanda Development Board.
Sebahizi部长在接受媒体采访时强调了世博会对卢旺达出口导向型产业的重要性。他表示：“中国国际进口博览会是卢旺达出口商向世界上最大的消费市场之一展示其产品的关键平台。这一举措不仅为卢旺达产品打开了知名度，也为满足中国日益增长的需求创造了实实在在的机会。”
Speaking to the media, Minister Sebahizi
emphasized the significance of the expo for Rwanda's export-oriented
industries. “The China International Import Expo is a pivotal platform for
Rwandan exporters to showcase their products to one of the world’s largest
consumer markets. This initiative not only provides visibility for Rwandan
products but also creates tangible opportunities to meet the growing demand in
China,” he stated.
部长进一步指出，进博会的举措与卢旺达更广泛的贸易和投资战略相一致，该战略优先考虑增值、市场多样化，并利用国际平台推广卢旺达制造的品牌。
The Minister further noted that the CIIE
aligns with Rwanda’s broader trade and investment strategy, which prioritizes
value addition, market diversification, and leveraging international platforms
to promote the Made in Rwanda brand.
他补充道：“卢旺达企业正在利用进博会等平台来加强市场准入，促进更牢固的贸易伙伴关系。这突显了我们致力于确保卢旺达产品在全球市场，特别是在需求巨大的中国市场占据突出地位。”。
“Rwandan businesses are leveraging
platforms such as the CIIE to enhance market access and foster stronger trade
partnerships. This underscores our commitment to ensuring that Rwandan products
gain prominence in the global market, particularly in China, which presents a
vast, ready demand,” he added.
11家卢旺达公司参加了今年的进博会，展示了包括特色咖啡、优质茶叶、有机蜂蜜、辣椒和手工艺品在内的高品质产品。这些产品反映了卢旺达对质量和可持续性的承诺，吸引了中国消费者、企业和国际买家的关注。
Eleven Rwandan companies participated in
this year’s expo, presenting high-quality products including specialty coffee,
premium tea, organic honey, chili, and artisanal crafts. These products, which
reflect Rwanda’s commitment to quality and sustainability, attracted the
attention of Chinese consumers, businesses, and international buyers.
进博会在深化卢旺达和中国的贸易伙伴关系方面发挥了重要作用，为卢旺达对华出口的显著增长做出了贡献。自进博会举办以来，卢旺达出口商借此契机建立伙伴关系，争取长期买家，并吸引中国投资农业、制造业和手工艺品等关键领域。
The CIIE has been instrumental in
deepening trade ties between Rwanda and China contributing to notable growth
in Rwandan exports to China. Since the expo’s inception, Rwandan exporters have
capitalized on opportunities to establish partnerships, secure long-term
buyers, and attract Chinese investments into key sectors such as agriculture,
manufacturing and artisanal goods.
除了推广卢旺达制造的产品外，进博会还为展示卢旺达巨大的投资机会和世界级的旅游景点提供了绝佳的机会。卢旺达代表团强调了卢旺达友好的营商环境，在农业、轻工业、房地产和信息通信技术等领域的机会，及其令人叹为观止的自然美景，包括火山国家公园雄伟的山地大猩猩等景点。
In addition to promoting Made in Rwanda
products, the CIIE provided an excellent opportunity to showcase Rwanda's vast
investment opportunities and world-class tourist attractions. The Rwandan
delegation highlighted the country’s conducive business environment,
opportunities in sectors such as agriculture, light manufacturing, real estate,
and ICT, as well as its breathtaking natural beauty, including attractions like
the majestic mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park.
2024年进博会是卢旺达加强与中国经贸合作的又一个重要里程碑。在这一发展势头的基础上，卢旺达正在为参加另一项重大盛会盛会——中国国际供应链促进博览会（CISCE）做准备。链博会由中国国际贸易促进委员会（CCPIT）组织，将于2024年11月底在北京举行。
The 2024 CIIE marked yet another
significant milestone in Rwanda’s promotional campaign aimed at strengthening
economic ties with China. Building on this momentum, Rwanda is gearing up for
participation in another major event, the China International Supply Chain Expo
(CISCE). Organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International
Trade (CCPIT), the expo will be held in Beijing at the end of November 2024.
