Chiadzwa \u2014 CHINA has promised to support Zimbabwe to ensure that the country’s diamonds are sold without any conditions attached to them.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Anjin Investments Private Limited’s Nechirasika Plant last week, Ambassador Xin Shunkang, said he was impressed with the level of co-operation between the Chinese and local investors working at Anjin Investments.<\/p>\n

He said he had already communicated with the relevant authorities in his country to ensure that the Chinese delegation to the next Kimberly Process Certification Scheme stands by Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

“Since a Chinese company is involved in the diamond mining here in Zimbabwe, we will walk together because we want both countries to benefit. As a government, we are very excited with the developments happening here as well as the relocation exercise.<\/p>\n

“We want to see a changed picture of this area when we come again for a next visit. As the Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe, I will continue working hard to attract more investors to come and invest here because Anjin has done a lot in terms of social corporate responsibility.<\/p>\n

“When we face difficulties in some of our programmes, we turn to them for support and they have never let us down,” said Ambassador Shunkang.<\/p>\n

The delegation, which toured the Anjin Plant included the Minister of Defence, Emmerson Mnangagwa, Minister of Mines and Mining Development, Obert Mpofu, the Attorney-General, Mr Johannes Tomana, Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation chairman, Godwills Masimerembwa, the Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, General Constantine Chiwengwa, Zimra Commissioner-General, Gershem Pasi, Advocate Farai Mutamangira, senior Government officials and service chiefs.<\/p>\n

Minister Mpofu said he was impressed by Anjin’s investment.<\/p>\n

“Although I was not part of the delegation that came here when President Mugabe visited early this year, I am very pleased with what I saw today.<\/p>\n

“When Anjin Investments approached us, we saw a giant coming to invest in Zimbabwe and we convinced ourselves that this project was worth recommending to the President.<\/p>\n

“All of us are proud to see what has happened here within a short time. This is a success story for both Zimbabwe and China.<\/p>\n

“Anjin Investments have virtually improved the livelihood of our people employed here and at the relocation area in Odzi.<\/p>\n

“This is a very good example of what investments means,” said Cde Mpofu.<\/p>\n

He said he was impressed to note that Anjin Investments had already completed the construction of 400 five-roomed houses at Arda-Transau.<\/p>\n

“I am told that you have completed the construction of 400 houses, while construction of primary and secondary schools as well as a clinic is in progress. The roads you have opened are better than those we find in most areas and this should be commended,” he said.<\/p>\n

“All investors who come to invest here should emulate what the Chinese are doing. You have done us proud and I want to appeal to the Chinese Ambassador to help us in our KPCS fight,” said Minister Mpofu.<\/p>\n

Minister Mnangagwa also hailed Anjin Investments’ corporate social responsibility programmes, saying they were helping to change the face of Manicaland province and Chiadzwa in particular.<\/p>\n

“There is no doubt that if companies emulate what you are doing this will surely change the face of Manicaland and Zimbabwe at large,” said Minister Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n
