Chinese Ambassador to Zambia Zhou Yuxiao said China was keen to continue participating in the economic development of Zambia, especially in the areas of infrastructure development, telecommunications and mining.“China will continue increasing investment in Zambia because of the investment climate prevailing in the country,” Mr Zhou said. Speaking at the Chinese New Year dinner in Lusaka hosted by Standard Chartered Bank for Chinese clients on Tuesday evening, Mr Zhou said the trade between China and Zambia has continued to grow through the Africa–China Trade Corridor.
