“Through this expo, buyers and consumers will be able to learn more and buy some of Rwanda’s excellent products including coffee, tea, chili, avocado oil and handcrafts,” Abikunda said. 

In addition to the promotion events, the delegation of African Embassies which included representatives from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda also visited Changsha High-Tech Zone International Science and Technology Business Platform and Changsha High-Tech Zone Import and Export Commodity Exhibition and Trading Center.
