At 3 PM local time on October 14, Mangaliso Ndlovu, Minister of Industry and Commerce of Zimbabwe, and his delegation visited the site of Huaxin Zimbabwe Project to investigate the progress of the project.

The project, located in Mount Hampden, Zimbabwe, started site construction in September and is scheduled to be completed and put into operation in December. When the project is put into operation, it is planned to produce 300,000 tons of cement per year, reducing Zimbabwe's dependence on cement imports and providing local jobs and considerable tax revenue. In the later stage, the annual cement capacity will be expanded to 1 million tons according to the limestone resources.

At the project construction site, Chen Huidong, general manager of Zimbabwe Company, first introduced the company's establishment time, planned production time and total project investment to Mangaliso Ndelowu and his delegation, and Zhou Cheng, project manager, introduced the project construction planning and current progress.

Mangaliso Nderowu welcomed Huaxin's investment in the country, noting that it will help meet the growing demand for cement and promote the development of the local construction industry, and government departments will actively coordinate resources to promote the construction of Huaxin Zimbabwe project to ensure the smooth commissioning of the project this year.

Up to now, Huaxin has invested and operated more than 20 cement and building materials subsidiary enterprises in 12 overseas countries, including Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa. This investment will further strengthen Huaxin's strategic layout in Southeast Africa, enhance its competitiveness in the global market, and will also make positive contributions to the economic development of Zimbabwe.
