SHANGHAI, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- At the ninth CIIE, a variety of distinctive African products are showcased across different exhibitions areas, attracting visitors and prompting many to stop and take a closer look.
On May 1 this year, China extended zero-tariff treatment to all 53 African countries with which it maintains diplomatic ties. Seizing the opportunities arising from this policy, African businesses have steadily increased their exhibition space at the CIIE. More and more African products are becoming increasingly accessible to Chinese consumers.
