President Emmerson Mnangagwa says there are vast investment opportunities in the infrastructure development sector in Zimbabwe for Chinese companies.

Addressing senior company management of a Chinese communication construction company in Beijing Tuesday morning, President Mnangagwa invited China Communication Construction Company (CCCC) to come and partner Zimbabwe in modernising and building infrastructure in the areas of highway construction, rail upgrading and expansion of infrastructure.

The company is involved in the construction of airports, sea ports, bridges, dredging and reclamation.

Some of the works that need upgrading and construction include Harare-Beitbridge road, Chitungwiza-Harare railway line and the expansion of the Harare-Beira railway to enhance trade in the region.

The president's delegation was also shown a similar rail project in East Africa in Mombasa, Nairobi - Standard Gauge Railway - built by the Chinese conglomerate.

The President of CCCC said the company is willing to establish an office in Zimbabwe.
