Namibia must ensure that new investment agreements with China lead to factories, skilled jobs and local businesses, rather than merely increasing exports of raw minerals, a mining industry leader has warned.
Consolidated Copper Corporation (CCC) Country Manager George Kamati said the success of President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah’s recent State Visit to China should be measured by what is built in Namibia.
