“We see China as a very strong partner for Rwanda. Of course, it goes without saying that we import a lot of products from China, but it is also very special that we have been growing our exports to China. Last year alone we exported about USD 160 million worth of products which was an 89% increase from the previous year which is showing that our bilateral trade is increasing over time.” RDB Deputy CEO @JulianaMuganza speaking to @cgtnafrica at the ongoing @ciieonline expo in Shanghai. #CIIE2026 #InvestInRwanda
