CHINGOLA, Zambia, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Zambia has been urged to utilize the upcoming China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo to explore and strengthen trade opportunities with China, particularly in agricultural produce trade.

Peter Sinkamba, president of Zambia's opposition Green Party, said Tuesday that Zambia should enhance trade with the Asian country for the benefits of its population.

He said the expo, scheduled for June 27-29 in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, has come at a right time, adding that the African Continental Free Trade Area will result in Africa becoming a large single market in the world.

"What is important is how to best utilize the bloc market to leap into China's economy," he said. Enditem
