Zambia’s Minister of Commerce, Trade, and Industry, Chipoka Mulenga, hailed China as an ¿undeniable partner¿ in driving growth across the Global South during the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE). The remarks come as the two nations celebrate 60 years of diplomatic ties, spotlighting China’s evolving role in fostering economic empowerment worldwide.
¿China’s investment in Africa isn’t just about infrastructure—it’s about shaping futures,¿ Mulenga told CGTN’s Xu Yi, emphasizing initiatives like the Belt and Road and Zambia’s booming copper trade with the Chinese mainland. ¿We’re building bridges, not just roads.¿
With over 180 countries and regions at the expo, the event underscored China’s push for ¿shared development¿ through trade. For young entrepreneurs eyeing emerging markets, Mulenga’s message was clear: ¿Collaboration, not competition, unlocks the Global South’s potential.¿
