Zimbabwe seeks to elevate cooperation with China in arts sector

HARARE, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe is seeking to elevate cooperation with China in the creative arts to boost the sector and promote cultural ties between the two sides, said Napoleon Nyanhi, the director of the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ).

"A lot of these exchanges have happened in the areas of live performance, including music, dance, and instrumentation. We would like to see more of the collaboration go into other spheres of the arts, which are areas of fashion design, areas of filmmaking, and television productions," said Nyanhi in an interview with Xinhua on the sidelines of the first Harare Forum for Africa and Academic Week, which concluded in the Zimbabewan capital Monday.
