China and Zambia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to allow Chinese tourist groups visiting Zambia in Beijing, source from Xinhua said.

China has signed eight MOUs with African nations since last December, including Kenya, Seychelles, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Tunis, Ethiopia, Mauritius and Zambia.

Experts say the signing of MOU with African nations will increase friendship and understanding between Chinese and African peoples and enable Chinese citizens to be familiar with Africa.
