Next-gen leaders foster China-Africa ties
Driven by fresh ideas and cross-cultural collaboration, rising business leaders are shaping the future of China-Africa cooperation and mutual understanding.
For Philipo Mrutu, a 33-year-old Tanzanian entrepreneur and CEO of Mrutu Agro-Solutions Co. Ltd., his first visit to Changsha, capital of Hunan province, was more than just a business trip — it was a gateway to witnessing the deepening ties between China and Africa.
"I'm very excited to see how beautiful China is, and I'm very impressed by how people at their stands are busy explaining their products and services," said Mrutu. "We also had the opportunity to see how China and Africa are working together through various government collaborations."
Mrutu was one of over 300 participants at the China-Africa Dialogue on Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship, held on June 13 in Changsha. The event was a key sideline activity of the 4th China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo, which took place from June 12 to 15.
