Cooperation Ptak Warsaw Expo with the new African market

What was the first meeting with the Rwanda ambassador?

From what I remember, it was a tourist fair when the ambassador came to visit Ptak Warsaw Expo, responding to our previous invitation. As one of the many visitors, representing the diplomatic mission invited to the opening of a tourist fair. The openness of the Ambassador to cooperate, to be tied up and showed himself as a representative of the wonderful African country was something for me that immediately hit me – this communication skills. In the conversation, the ambassador shortened the distance, which is unheard of in the diplomatic protocol.

What is this new cooperation for Bird Warsaw Expo?

We are glad that Rwanda has such a unique representative and friend of Poland in the person of Mr. Ambassador. Last year, Rwanda hosted our president – Mr. Andrzej Duda, who was an official visit to this picturesque country. It was a very important event for both countries when it comes to the opening and intensification of economic relationships. And showing how important the African market is for entrepreneurs who would like to export to Africa and what economic possibilities this country has. Poland could be an excellent bridge between African countries, in particular the countries of this West Africa, and small and medium enterprises in Poland. Because it is not easy to organize an economic mission for small and medium -sized enterprises to Africa, because it is expensive, it is not logistically easy. I think that Bird Warsaw Expo in cooperation with the Rwanda Ambassador in Warsaw will be able to prepare just such an offer for our entrepreneurs, both those who want to export to Africa, for Rwanda – and those who could import interesting goods from there, even coffee or tea.

Ptak Warsaw Expo is very popular by foreign contractors. Can it be said that Rwanda also initiated a new opening of the African market in Ptak Warsaw Expo?

Ptak Warsaw Expo discovers Africa together with Polish business, small and medium -sized entrepreneurs. And Rwanda is such an initial direction and we hope that other countries will also want to put up here on the occasion of our fairs, events we organize, but this will also encourage Polish entrepreneurs to take a closer look at the offer of African countries. Maybe for the entrepreneur it will be a sign to move in a new direction to discover and establish business relationships with that market. Rwanda can help our companies acquire many contracts.

Interest in the African market is increasing and more and more enterprises are opening to new global activities. It is possible that this is the beginning of all economic and development activities on the market.

May it be so. I believe that economic relations, business relations are still under development. Of course, it could be better, because at the moment many countries such as China, but also the countries of Western Europe-they put a lot of emphasis on these economic and business relations with Africa. And Poland is trying to make up for this distance. I hope that our diplomacy and, above all, economic diplomacy will cause that African markets will be closer to Polish business.
