On June 16, 2025, Ms. Chanda Musonda-Chiluba, Partner and Banking & Finance expert at MAY and Company—Zambia’s leading full-service law firm—visited Zhonglun W&D Law Firm at the firm’s invitation. She engaged in in-depth discussions with four of the firm’s partners, including Ping Zhao, Huishan Pei, Jianjun Zhao, and Pengli Zhao, on topics such as the investment environments in China and Zambia, legal service collaboration, and development prospects in key industries.

During the meeting, both sides held lively discussions on the legal needs of Chinese enterprises investing in Zambia under the “Going Global” initiative. Ms. Chanda highlighted Zambia’s investment potential in emerging sectors such as rare minerals, clean energy (particularly solar power), and new energy vehicles. She also shared insights into the Zambian government’s recent proactive measures, including tax incentives, investment facilitation policies, and foreign investment protection mechanisms, encouraging Chinese businesses to actively explore opportunities in the Zambian market. 

The two sides further delved into pressing issues for Chinese investors, such as labor compliance, contract enforcement, foreign exchange controls, and tax planning. Ms. Chanda emphasized that MAY and Company possesses extensive experience in cross-border investment and financing, project development, and compliance management. She expressed the firm’s willingness to strengthen collaboration with Zhonglun W&D Law Firm in building a China-Africa legal service network to provide high-quality legal services for Chinese enterprises.
