During the 2024 China-Africa Cooperation Forum Summit, an important pre-event activity was the Congo (DRC) – China Investment Economic Forum held in Beijing on September 2, organized by the Embassy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in China. Ms. Huang Jingyi, Chairwoman of HRL, was invited to attend.
Congo (DRC) – China Investment Economic Forum
The Deputy Prime Minister of the Ministry of Transport of the Congo (DRC), Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo, announced the opening of the first Congo (DRC) – China Investment Economic Forum in Beijing on behalf of the head of state, with over 300 dignitaries and business representatives from China and the Congo attending. The Vice Minister of Commerce of China, the Congolese Ambassador to China, as well as the Ministers of Finance, Mining, Infrastructure, and Commerce were present.
Chairwoman Huang Jingyi communicated with Congolese government officials and domestic and international business representatives. She expressed her willingness to seize this forum as an opportunity to explore new areas of Sino-African economic and trade investment cooperation, assist Qingdao enterprises in leveraging local advantages, integrate into national development strategies, promote trade and bilateral investment with Africa, and contribute to the high-level development of Sino-African economic and trade investment cooperation.
Africa, as an emerging market, represents new opportunities for Chinese enterprises to “go global.” HRL, as a leading Chinese logistics company, has been active in the African market since 2007 and has extensive experience in shipping and logistics. It has achieved remarkable results in agriculture, engineering, and trade, providing logistics supply chain support for a series of influential projects aimed at entering the African market.
HRL has been authorized by the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Multimodal Transport Management Bureau to become the global agent for FERI/AD, enabling it to issue electronic cargo tracking documents required for customs clearance in 24 African countries. The company’s partnership with China Inspection Group operates a bonded regulatory warehouse in Africa, providing comprehensive logistics and inspection certification services from African mines to designated delivery locations within China.
In the future, HRL will continue to uphold the corporate philosophy of sincerity, dedication, and aspiration, while continuously expanding its business in Africa to enhance the safety and convenience of import-export enterprises engaged in trade with Africa. As this year’s summit theme declares, “Together advancing modernization, building a high-level Sino-African community of shared destiny,” the peoples of Africa, China, and the world will work hand in hand to create a new landscape of human societal modernization with flourishing diversity.
