Zanu PF officials came back from China feeling hopeful about new investments. The team celebrated 45 years of friendship between the two countries during their visit with the Communist Party of China. They talked about ways to make life better for people through better leadership.
Team leader Elifas Mashaba said they showed what Zimbabwe offers investors, which sparked interest from many companies. Chinese businesses want to work with mining operations, especially lithium mines, since electric car batteries need this mineral. Farm businesses also caught the attention of possible partners looking at crop production equipment.
Supa Mandiwanzira called the trip a learning chance rather than just a party. He noticed how China grew from poor farming communities into a rich nation, which inspires Zimbabwe to do the same. The city of Chongqing impressed him because it became successful without ocean access, similar to Zimbabwe's situation in southern Africa.
Zimbabwe could become a shipping center for nearby countries like Congo, Zambia, Malawi, and Botswana. The country has 63 different minerals that could earn more money if processed locally instead of being exported raw. Chinese companies might help make lithium batteries together with Zimbabwe as business partners.
