HARARE, Nov. 27 -- Chinese President Xi Jinping attached importance to the relations with Zimbabwe, hence he made it one of the two African countries he is visiting this year, and the visit is expected to raise the China-Zimbabwe all-weather friendship to a new high, China's ambassador to Zimbabwe Huang Ping said Friday.  President Xi will pay a state visit to Zimbabwe Dec. 1 - 2 on his way to South Africa for the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation summit, making it the fourth African country he has visited since assuming office.  "This demonstrates the importance he attaches to this country," Huang told local reporters in a group interview.  "Actually, when our two Heads of State met in Beijing in August last year and in Jakarta in April this year, President Xi spoke very highly of the traditional friendship between China and Zimbabwe and our current bilateral relations," he said.  Xi will hold bilateral talks with Mugabe and exchange views on international and regional issues to strengthen the unity and coordination among developing countries.
