The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources is dismayed by the disparities in accommodation for Chinese nationals and Namibians who work at a lithium mine near Uis.

The committee is further concerned that there are no skills transfers happening because the Chinese nationals with qualifications, do not speak English. 

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources was informed by the management of the lithium mine, Longfire and Xingfeng Joint Venture, that critical skills are being transferred by the Chinese experts to Namibians. 

The Project Manager of the China Henan International Cooperation Group, Zhang Hongbo, says the company will continue to invest in social activities in the country to foster friendship among Chinese and Namibian citizens.

He was speaking during the official opening of the annual Tses Spring Festival.

The China Henan International Cooperation Group is rehabilitating and widening the road between Tses and Gibeon.
