At this year's China International Import Expo (CIIE), Juliana Kangeli Muganza, deputy chief executive officer of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), said the platform has delivered concrete results. In an exclusive interview with CGTN's Zhang Meng, she said Rwanda's exports to China reached about $160 million last year, up 89%, while bilateral trade totaled roughly $1.4 billion. Beyond trade, she highlighted growing Chinese investment in agro-processing, light manufacturing and construction, as well as the potential for further growth in tourism. The number of Chinese visitors to Rwanda rose more than fourfold over five years, from about 3,000 in 2021 to 14,000 last year.
