Bilateral relations get impetus from strong economic partnerships
When Luo Qi first set foot on the African continent in 2012, he had no idea that he would spend the next seven years making his company one of the top three Chinese construction machinery exporters in Africa.
"Back in 2012, every time we sought to make a deal, we had to spend hours giving a detailed introduction of our company and the local team. Now that we have already made a name in Africa, we only need to tell about our equipment's quality and functions," said Luo Qi, the regional manager for southern Africa at Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co, a leading Chinese construction machinery maker.
