On the occasion of the opening of the Expo, the Taiwan correspondent in Egypt interviewed the Chinese Embassy in Egypt. Han Bing believes that the first China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo will bring many "innovative" experiences to people and play a positive role in promoting China-Africa economic and trade cooperation in the future.

As the session approached, Han Bing and his team were extremely busy. Just on the last working day of leaving Egypt to go to Changsha, Han Bing once again communicated with the Egyptian delegation on relevant matters. "Egypt is the rotating presidency of the AU this year, so Egypt should play a very important role in promoting cooperation between China and Africa. As far as Egypt itself is concerned, it is also very important to promote cooperation between Africa and China. Active and very important."

According to Han Bing, Egypt is very happy to be one of the six guests of this year's Expo. This time, Egypt formed a delegation of more than 40 people to attend the meeting in Changsha, led by the Minister of Tourism, including tourism, investment, agriculture, trade and the Suez Canal Economic Zone and other government departments and institutions, as well as ten well-known Egyptian companies. Participation, covering agriculture, handicrafts, finance and other fields. As a guest country, Egypt will also hold a special investment conference during the Expo to introduce the investment environment in Egypt. Han Bing said: "In attending the Expo, a special Egyptian investment fair will be held. So I think that Egypt will have a good debut at the first China-Africa Economic and Trade Fair and there will be a good show."

Han Bing pointed out that the China-Africa Cooperation Forum Summit held in Beijing last year formulated the action plan for China-Africa cooperation in the next three years, covering eight areas. The first initiative of the first "Industry Promotion Action" was to hold China-Africa. Economic and trade fair. The China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo will become an important platform for future China-Africa cooperation.

Han Bing believes that the first China-Africa economic and trade fair is different from the general fair, not for the purpose of simple business negotiations, and the most important is the content design of "52". “5” is the five themed exhibitions to be held in the Expo, and “2” refers to online fairs and African trade fairs. In addition, more than ten seminars will be held to discuss China-Africa cooperation in different fields; the fair will enable enterprises to dock in a targeted manner. Therefore, participants can have many new experiences. “This exhibition has a very distinctive feature, including an exhibition of cooperation methods, an exhibition of cooperation results, it is not purely for the purpose of the transaction. But we also have a business exhibition for the purpose of the transaction.”

Han Bing, who has long been engaged in China-Africa economic and trade affairs, believes that China's cooperation with Africa is comprehensive. In China's foreign economic and trade cooperation, China-Africa cooperation has a strong strategic significance and will have a positive impact on the entire world economy. He said: "Because Africa's development potential is very large, whether it is from infrastructure, industrialization or market, it has great potential to develop. The level of the current situation is relatively low, which shows that its market is very Big."

Han Bing believes that the traditional cooperation concept of China and Africa is highly compatible with the "One Belt, One Road" cooperation concept. Under the "One Belt One Road" framework, China-Africa cooperation will surely achieve greater development. He said that the “One Belt One Road” is open, not only limited to countries along the line, but to the whole world. Whoever participates, we welcome it. 

Han Bing expressed his belief that the upcoming China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo will bring many "innovative" experiences to people and play a positive role in promoting China-Africa economic and trade cooperation in the future.
