 LUSAKA, Zambia (AP) - Chinese President Hu Jintao on Saturday offered copper-rich Zambia a multimillion dollar investment package aimed at boosting ties with a longtime African ally.
Facing mounting accusations of Chinese exploitation of African labor and resources — an issue during last year's Zambian presidential elections — Hu stressed that Beijing was motivated by partnership rather than purely profit.
"China is happy to have Zambia as a good friend, good partner and a good brother," Hu said at a joint news conference with President Levy Mwanawasa.
