The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in Zimbabwe, in conjunction with the Southern African Research and Documentation Centre (SARDC) held a half-day seminar on 20 November 2025 with the objective of bringing together stakeholders to discuss and explore how the two countries can align their development plans.
The theme of this seminar under the CHINA-ZIMBABWE DIALOGUE was “Aligning China’s 15th Five Year Plan with Zimbabwe Vision 2030”.
The seminar was a platform for dialogue, mutual learning, and the identification of synergies between national development plans and strategies such as the National Development Strategy 2026-2030 (NDS 2) for achieving Vision 2030.
The dialogue follows the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (20-23 October 2025), and the 22nd National People’s Conference of the ZANU-PF Party (13-18 October 2025), and was attended by a wide range of stakeholders including parliamentarians, trade unions, think tanks, academics and the media, as well as the Government of Zimbabwe, the ZANU-PF Party, and the PRC Embassy in Zimbabwe.
