At VD, we believe in turning opportunities into action. When we first heard about the GCACC’s Guangzhou launch, we knew it was more than just an event—it was a call to pioneer. On August 17, 2018, our team stepped into the inauguration ceremony of the Greater China-Africa Chamber of Commerce (GCACC) Guangzhou Office—not just as attendees, but as partnership catalysts ready to shape the future of China-Africa collaboration. Here’s how this experience transformed our approach to Africa—and why it matters for your business too.
We had the privilege of attending the opening ceremony of the China-Africa General Chamber of Commerce (CAGCC) in Guangzhou. The event marked a meaningful step in strengthening China-Africa business cooperation, connecting companies, governments, and entrepreneurs from both regions.
This gathering was more than just a ceremony—it was a clear signal that new energy is driving international collaboration, and we are proud to be part of it.
A Shared Platform for Growth
The Chamber was established to promote trade, investment, and cultural exchange between China and African countries. It aims to build long-term partnerships that benefit both sides.
For our company, which is focused on manufacturing and global markets, this event opened doors. We saw firsthand the enthusiasm from African delegates looking to partner with Chinese companies. China-Africa business cooperation offers new access to markets with high demand, particularly in infrastructure, energy, and industrial equipment.
Furthermore, the event created a space for honest conversations about needs, challenges, and opportunities. This direct dialogue gave us valuable insights and encouraged us to explore how we can contribute more to African development.
Our Role in the Bigger Picture
At the same time, we recognized that this cooperation is not just about exporting products — it’s about building relationships based on trust and shared goals.
By participating in the event, we began forming new connections, exchanging ideas, and discovering how our strengths as a manufacturer can align with the needs of African partners. China-Africa business cooperation is most successful when both sides understand each other deeply, and this event was a step in that direction.
We also saw the value of the Chamber as a long-term resource — one that will provide guidance, coordination, and support for future initiatives.
Our Role in the Bigger Picture
Looking forward, we are excited about the role we can play in this growing partnership. With the support of platforms like the CAGCC, we feel more prepared to expand into African markets and contribute to sustainable development.
We believe that China-Africa business cooperation is not just a trend — it is a long-term journey that creates shared value. And as a company committed to quality, innovation, and responsibility, we are ready to walk that path with our global partners.
Together, we can build more than business. We can build opportunity, understanding, and a stronger future.
