STORYLINE:

The 6th edition of the China International Import Expo (CIIE) will be held in Shanghai from Nov. 5 to 10. 

The expo is seen as a showcase for China's new development paradigm, and a platform for high-standard opening up.

Elly Twineyo, executive director of Uganda Export Promotion Board (UEPB), said that the CIIE is providing opportunities for all countries involved, beyond their bilateral relations with China.

"I think China has progressively opened up and this opening up has had an impact on China but has also had an impact on its trading partners and those with whom they have mutual cooperation. For example, we now import a lot of Chinese technology. Uganda and other African countries are beginning to also export their products. We begin to export coffee. We begin to export freshwater fish products. We begin to export other food products."
