Liberia Seeks Manufacturing Investment at China International Import Expo

The Executive Chairman of the Liberia Special Economic Zones Authority, Prince A. Wreh, has joined a high-level Liberian delegation led by Vice President Jeremiah Kpan Koung at the 9th China International Import Expo in Shanghai, China.

The November 5–10, 2026 event brought together governments, investors, and businesses from around the world to explore trade, investment, and economic cooperation opportunities.

The Expo, held under the theme, “New Era, Shared Future,” provided Liberia an opportunity to showcase its investment potential and attract international businesses.

For LSEZA, participation is aimed at promoting Liberia's Special Economic Zones as destinations for domestic and foreign investment, industrial development, and job creation.

On the sidelines of the Expo, Vice President Koung and Chairman Wreh toured manufacturing facilities operated by Sundra Group, through its Softcare brand, and held discussions with company executives.

The engagement focused on understanding the company's manufacturing operations and exploring opportunities to strengthen its investment presence in Liberia.

Softcare already has a presence in Liberia's manufacturing sector and is expected to produce essential hygiene products, including diapers, wipes, and sanitary pads.

The proposed manufacturing activities are expected to support local production, create employment opportunities, develop technical skills, and reduce Liberia's dependence on imported goods.

This year's Expo attracted more than 4,100 exhibitors from across the world, providing a platform for businesses to explore new markets and establish investment partnerships.

LSEZA says it remains committed to using international engagements to position Liberia as an attractive destination for investment and industrial development.
