Themed "Prosperous Trade, Mutual Learning, Win-Win Partnership, People-to-People Bond," the 2026 China-Africa Economic and Trade Forum opened on November 7 in Yiwu, drawing more than 400 guests from over 30 countries and regions. It features a China-Africa think-tank forum, a "Silk Road of Culture" exchange month, and a trade exhibition brought close to local communities.
In 2025, Yiwu's imports and exports with Africa reached 150.70 billion yuan, up 23.4% year on year. Africa is Yiwu's largest single foreign-trade market and Jinhua's top emerging export destination, underscoring the city's role as a hub linking the continent with global supply chains.
