Haimbe, who sent best wishes to China in the new year, said the comprehensive strategic and cooperative partnership between the two countries achieved bountiful fruits and brought tangible benefits to the people of both countries last year. "Zambia and China have maintained close cooperation and joined hands to promote modernization and build a community of shared future."

Zambia expects more tourists, investment, and technology transfer from China this year, he said, adding that Zambia is committed to adhering to the one-China policy and safeguarding the foundation of mutual political trust.

"We are ready to work with the Chinese embassy and the Chinese community to create a conducive business environment and promote bilateral cooperation in all dimensions," the minister said.
