利比里亚驻华大使率团“打卡”长沙自贸片区，解锁经贸合作新姿势

为拓展中非务实合作，利比里亚驻华大使杜德利・麦金利・托马斯近期率代表团来到长沙，在中国（湖南）自由贸易试验区长沙片区考察交流。

To expand practical cooperation between China and Africa, Dudley McKinley Thomas, the Ambassador of Liberia to China, recently led a delegation to Changsha for an inspection and exchange in the Changsha Area of China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone.

现场，杜德利肯定了湖南对中非经贸的重视与中非经贸博览会常设展馆的作用，并高度赞扬中非贸易便利化政策。当前，中国已批准对多个非洲国家实行零关税政策，利比里亚优质农产品得以更加便捷地进入中国市场。

Dudley affirmed Hunan's emphasis on China-Africa economic and trade cooperation and the significance of the permanent exhibition hall of the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (CAETE). He also spoke highly of the policy of China-Africa trade facilitation. Currently, China has approved zero-tariff policies for multiple African countries, enabling Liberia's high-quality agricultural products to enter the Chinese market more conveniently.

作为本次活动的牵头组织方，湖南善臻达公司未来计划以高粱白酒项目带动利比里亚高粱产业升级。杜德利表示：“当利比里亚的农业资源遇上中国的技术与市场，必将孕育出互利共赢的新机遇。”

As the leading organizer of this event, Hunan Shanzhenda Company plans to drive the upgrading of Liberia's sorghum industry through a sorghum liquor project in the future. The ambassador said, "When Liberia's agricultural resources meet China's technology and market, it will surely give birth to new win-win opportunities."
