“非长”精彩：跨越山海，非洲玫瑰来“湘”会

Hunan's trade with Africa dates back over 1,000 years, when exquisite porcelain from ancient Changsha kilns was exported to Africa via the Maritime Silk Road. Today, Changsha's ties with Africa have flourished into deeper trade cooperation.

湖南与非洲的贸易历史可追溯至1000多年前，当时古老长沙窑的精美瓷器借由海上丝绸之路被运往非洲。如今，长沙与非洲已发展出了更深层次的贸易合作。

In July, Kenyan roses were re-exported from Changsha to Uzbekistan, marking China’s first African flower re-export—a milestone in Hunan's vision of becoming a global re-export hub for African goods.

今年7月，肯尼亚玫瑰经长沙转出口至乌兹别克斯坦，这是中国首例非洲鲜花转口贸易，也是湖南打造非洲商品全球再出口中心愿景中的一个里程碑。

Looking ahead, African roses will pass through Changsha, reaching more countries and regions, spreading their fragrance across the world.

展望未来，非洲玫瑰将途经长沙，到达更多国家和地区，将它们的芬芳传播到世界各地。
