Chinese boost for Botswana

22/07/2010
Botswana’s trade minister will head a visit to China this month, including a special China-Botswana trade cooperation conference on July 26 in Beijing. Delegates will discuss the economic situation, investment environment and trade opportunities in Botswana, as well as trade cooperation in manufacturing sectors, including leather processing.

Botswana produces a large quantity of hides and wants to gain greater value from them by turning more of them into leather. Botswana hopes to interest Chinese leather producers in the investment possibilities.

For this reason, Chinese leather companies were invited to attend the special conference.
