I now turn to category C of the question from Hon. Markham, regarding the private-public-partnerships (PPPs). The joint venture agreements processed through ZIDA are as follows: Here again I am focusing on China PPPs, I am assuming the question was only focusing on China.
I now turn to the last section of the question from Hon. Markham pertaining to the export and national base resources, including those that are enshrined in agreements.
