南非豪登省拟与湖南签署贸易协议 出口原产坚果茶叶等

South Africa's Gauteng Province is set to finalize a trade agreement to export products to China's Hunan Province, a provincial government official said.

据南非豪登省的一位政府官员介绍，豪登省即将敲定一项向中国湖南省出口产品的贸易协议。

Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi made the announcement on Monday night while delivering the State of the Province Address in Pretoria, the country's administrative capital.

2月24日晚，豪登省省长潘亚扎・勒苏非在南非行政首都比勒陀利亚发表省情咨文时宣布了这一消息。

"We will soon finalize a groundbreaking agreement with Hunan Province in China. This will open new trade avenues for our small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) to export nuts, rooibos tea, biltong, honey, moringa, and wine to Hunan's vast market of over 66 million people across 13 cities without major restrictions," said Lesufi.

勒苏非表示，豪登省与中国湖南省即将敲定一项具有开创性意义的协议。这一协议的达成将为当地中小微企业开辟新的贸易渠道，助力其面向湖南省13个城市内6600多万人口的广阔市场，出口坚果、路易波士茶、干腌肉条、蜂蜜、辣木和葡萄酒等产品。

He described the partnership as a game changer for small businesses, enabling them to expand operations, create jobs, and boost economic growth. "We are committed to ensuring that SMMEs receive the necessary support to succeed in this international venture," he added.

他称这一合作将彻底改变微小企业的发展局面，助力它们扩大业务版图，创造更多就业岗位，进而推动经济增长。莱苏菲进一步补充表示，豪登省政府将全力确保中小微企业在这项国际合作中，获得所必需的各项支持。

As South Africa's economic hub, Gauteng has hosted numerous trade forums with Chinese officials. The province signed a memorandum of cooperation with Beijing in 2017, fostering collaboration in investment, trade, legislation, culture, and people-to-people exchanges.

作为南非的经济中心，豪登省已多次与中国官员共同举办贸易论坛。该省于2017年与北京市签署了合作备忘录，推动了双方在投资、贸易、立法、文化和人文交流等领域的合作。
