China on Tuesday voiced its willingness to make joint
efforts with Zambia's new government to promote the healthy development of
bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
China and Zambia share a traditional friendship and
pushing forward cooperation will bring more tangible benefits for the two peoples,
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a press briefing in Beijing.
Mr Hong said the Chinese government backs capable and
credible companies to carry out investment and cooperation in Zambia noting
that China always asks its companies in the African nation to obey the laws
with standardized operation and fulfill corporate social responsibility.
He further said China has helped build a number of
infrastructure projects that benefit the people of Zambia, and its companies
have created over 10,000 jobs for locals by conducting investment and
cooperation on the basis of equality and mutual benefits.
He also explained that the investment has effectively
provided an impetus for Zambia's social and economic development.
Mr Hong also said in recent
years, major Chinese companies in Zambia have maintained the policy of not
conducting fund withdrawal, production cancellation, or job cuts, which has
made a prominent contribution to Zambia's ability to effectively handle the
global financial crisis.
