Angola eager to welcome more Chinese investors, says ambassador

Angola's ambassador to China said the southern African country of 30 million people is a huge market and keen to welcome more Chinese investors to the country.

"Chinese enterprises are making great contributions to Angola in helping rebuild its infrastructure ravaged by its previous civil turmoil. These include highways, hospitals, schools and others," Joao Salvador dos Santos Neto said in an exclusive interview with China Daily.

The envoy pointed to the China Tiesiju Civil Engineering Group Co Ltd (CTCE), which has been doing business in Angola for 11 years. He said the company's largest unit in the capital of Luanda has some 800 employees, 60 percent of whom are Angolans.
