Energy and power have emerged as the most significant areas of collaboration between China and Zambia over the past few decades. They are playing an important role in promoting the economic development of both countries, a top company executive said on Wednesday.

Cooperation between China and Zambia has bright prospects, with energy and power playing a pivotal role, said Ding Yanzhang, chairman of Power Construction Corp of China, which is also known as PowerChina, during the Zambia Power Development Forum in Beijing on Wednesday.

"PowerChina is willing to leverage its integrated full-industry chain advantage in energy and power investment, construction and operations and help meet the power demand of Zambia's socioeconomic development," he said.
