Resource-rich Zimbabwe has great partnership potential with China, officials from both nations said at a promotion seminar at the China International Fair for Investment and Trade on Saturday in Xiamen.

The seminar, themed "Zimbabwe - your business partner in southern Africa", tells "a Zimbabwe story of trade and investment opportunities", said Walter Chidakwa, Zimbabwe's deputy minister of state enterprises and parastatals.

The Zimbabwean economy is recovering and has "registered impressive growth over the past three years", he said.
