He further added that Chinese experts are building modern infrastructure that will stand a test of time, and this should be an opportunity for Zambians to learn the different technologies being applied in the construction industry.

Apart from the construction of a water and sanitation project, AVIC is also working on the road network in Mongu district in the province. Construction of the water supply and sanitation system in Zambia is expected to commence this month. The project is expected to improve water supply in the province.
