Burundi seeks trade boost via CIIE

This year’s China International Import Expo (CIIE), the world’s first national-level expo dedicated solely to imports, is back in Shanghai from November 5-10. Burundi is participating in the country exhibition for the first time. Alfred Burimaso, First Counsellor at the Embassy of Burundi in China highlights how Burundi is seizing the moment to showcase unique products, from high-quality coffee to artisanal crafts. He discusses the impact of China’s zero-tariff policy for least-developed countries, the advantages of CIIE’s vast marketplace, and how Burundi strengthens economic ties with China and the world.
