About 100 Chinese companies are expected to exhibit at the 97th Agricultural and Commercial Show to boost business ties, the Zambia Chinese Association (ZCA) revealed on Friday.
The enterprises will showcase their products and services under the Chinese Pavilion organized by the ZCA, during the event scheduled to run from July 30 to August 4 in Lusaka, the Zambian capital. This year's show will be themed "Adapting to Climate Change."
ZCA General Secretary Wang Chunyan said the delegation will include about 80 enterprises already operating in Zambia, along with around 20 companies from China's Jiangxi Province.
"It is a great platform to support China-Zambia economic cooperation and help Chinese companies grow," Wang said.
She noted that the association has participated under the Chinese Pavilion for the past three years, a move that has yielded positive results for participating companies and strengthened business cooperation between China and Zambia.
Bernard Moonga, president of the Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative Society of Zambia Limited, the organizer of the event, commended the ZCA for its sponsorship.
According to Moonga, China is among the countries with the largest exhibitors at this year's show.
The show presents an opportunity for Chinese enterprises to not only showcase their products but also forge new business relationships in Zambia, he added.
