China, the Middle East, and Africa are all facing the grueling task of fighting the epidemic, stabilizing the economy, and protecting people’s livelihood. Under these circumstances, supporting the “China (Guangxi) – Africa & Middle East Digital Trade Week” is a specific action of Guangxi’s in-depth participation and active integration of the “Belt and Road Initiative” building.”
