Mr Hai said this when he met the Chinese Ambassador to Zambia Ivan Zyuulu.

Mr. Zyuulu visited Anshan City to appreciate the production processes of Anshan Zizhu International Trading Company.

He said Anshan Zizhu International Trading Company responds to people’s needs and believes in developing small and beautiful projects.

Mr Zyuulu says the visit to Zambia is crucial to ensuring that its products align with the country’s agricultural needs in line with its national development plan and steel manufacturing sector .

He says the Zambian Government is pursuing agriculture mechanization and has developed the National Agriculture Mechanisation Strategy 2024-2028 to guide investment in agriculture modernization.
