"I would like to promote African doctoral tea to Chinese netizens and invite you to taste a different taste..." South African Ambassador to China, Xie Shengwen, who came to Changsha, Hunan to participate in the 3rd China Africa Economic and Trade Expo, experienced live streaming sales during the Africa Good Things Online Shopping Festival on the 28th, and the atmosphere was lively.
Xie Shengwen said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters after the live broadcast that there is enormous potential for cooperation and exchange between Africa and China, and China is full of opportunities for Africa and South Africa.
From South African red wine to doctoral tea and other products, Xie Shengwen knows his hometown products very well. During the live broadcast, he even played a flash sale, and 100 simple packaged small tea bags were sold out in seconds.
"The rise of live streaming sales and other methods in China can provide consumers with a visual display of high-quality African products and quickly achieve product delivery, which is a powerful tool for South Africa to connect with the global consumer market." Xie Shengwen said.
"We hope that the two countries can deepen cooperation in digital economy, e-commerce, and other areas, and accelerate the mutual exchange of high-quality products through online live streaming, online shopping, and other means."
Xie Shengwen said that China is South Africa's largest trading partner, and South Africa continues to benefit from cooperation with China. "This stems from our firm mutual trust relationship, and economic and trade cooperation has been continuously deepened."
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the initiative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road". Xie Shengwen said, "Since South Africa participated in the construction of the the Belt and Road in 2015, its infrastructure has been greatly improved, which plays an important role in our economic development."
"More and more Chinese enterprises are increasing their investment in various fields in South Africa. Convenient roads and bridges not only connect cities, but also connect us with neighboring countries." He said that the cooperation between the two companies in telecommunications, technology and other fields is constantly deepening, which is conducive to South Africa's digital transformation.
Xie Shengwen stated that the two countries have complementary advantages in many fields and achieved mutual benefit and win-win results. Opportunities lie in various areas of cooperation between the two sides. "Chinese companies have created a large number of job opportunities for South Africa and played a significant role in modernizing the country's economy."
When it comes to investment in China, Xie Shengwen stated that South African enterprises have broad development prospects in China. The South African government will continue to encourage domestic enterprises to increase their investment in China and looks forward to further deepening mutual benefit and win-win cooperation between the two sides.
"South Africa and China have profound friendship, close exchanges, and broad prospects for cooperation. We look forward to working together with China to create more mutually beneficial and win-win new opportunities," Xie Shengwen said.
