Dr. Renganaden Padayachy underlined that China leads the world in information and communication technology, medical research, biopharmaceutical industry and other fields. Mauritius wishes to learn from China's advanced technology and experience, and enhance cooperation with Chinese companies to promote the development of relevant industries. As a large manufacturing country, China trades with Mauritius and countries on the African continent frequently. Mauritius is willing to utilize its maximum advantages to be a transit hub for China's trade with Africa and thus facilitate China-Africa economic and trade exchanges.
