CHINESE President Jiang Zemin lands in Pretoria today for trade talks on Tuesday with President Thabo Mbeki.
The two will discuss the progress of the China-Africa Co-operation Forum, plan a ministerial conference for October in Beijing, and discuss how China can contribute to pan-African trade and development.
The Democratic Party has attacked Pretoria’s alignment with a government “that denies its people basic human rights and political freedom” and called on the government to discuss human rights in Tibet and the crackdown on dissidents in China.
