President Levy Mwanawasa has hailed the People’s Republic of China for its good bilateral relations with Zambia.
President Mwanawasa said Zambia and China enjoy good relations which are mutually beneficial to both countries.
Mr. Mwanawasa made the remarks when the Chinese military delegation lead by General
Deng Changyou paid a courtesy call on him at state house.
He expressed optimistic that the delegation would have fruitful discussion with their Zambian counterparts.
Earlier Defence Minister George Mpombo said the visit was intended to cement the military ties between Zambia and China.
Mr. Mpombo said the cordial relations which President Mwanawasa has been working
on with that the country should be enhanced.
He added that the delegation has come as a reciprocal to the earlier visit by former
Defence Minister Mundia Muliokela to that country.

Careful we dont end up owing the chinese the same way we owed the western countries!!!!They are not here for nothing
Zababa is right. China can never be a very good friend. Chinnesse monopoly would surely do us more harm than good. They are up to something. The Government knows exactly. They surely also want to flood our markets with fake goods from china. We better watch out.
Why is the Western world fighting for the Chinese and Indian markets, yet they are the worst in human rights abuse? The whole world are inviting China and India, yet Africa does not want it?
