BEIJING, November 4 -- Chinese President Hu Jintao said here on Saturday
that China and Namibia will hold special talks on expanding bilateral
trade during the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.
During a meeting with Namibian President Hifikepunye Pohamba on the
sidelines of the summit, Hu said that China and Namibia have witnessed
steady development of cooperation with bilateral trade growing constantly.
An increasing number of Chinese enterprises invested in Namibia. More
fruitful results of trade expansion are expected to be achieved during
the summit, Hu said.
Pohamba said that China has offered many preferential policies to
Namibia, which benefit Namibian people a lot.
Namibia is seeking economic and trade partners in the East, said the
president, adding that dozens of entrepreneurs accompanied him to the
summit to explore cooperation potential with Chinese business circles.
He said Namibia is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in the
fields of industry, human resources and infrastructure construction.

Changchun, member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee
Political Bureau, visited Namibia in 2005. In the same year, President
Pohamba visited China.
Namibia is a destination country for Chinese tourists and tourist groups.
Bilateral trade came to 140 million U.S. dollars in 2005.
