The governments of the eastern Chinese city of Taizhou and the central Angolan province of Huambo have been discussing how to promote Sino-Angolan economic engagement, Angop reports.

The Angolan state-run news agency quotes Taizhou Municipal Committee vice-chairman Lu Xiaosheng as saying after meeting Huambo Governor Joana Lina that his government is hoping for a written agreement on the matter.

Mr Lu said he would like a party of Huambo businesspeople to visit his city and a party of Chinese investors to visit Huambo next summer.

He said the province was well situated to attract Chinese investment in its farms and tourist attractions.

For example, Chinese-owned Jiangzhou Agriculture Lda has invested US$12 million in growing cereals, fruit and vegetables, and in raising cattle on a 2,544 hectare farm in Huambo, creating 180 jobs, Angop quotes Mr Lu as saying.
