Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has visited Zijin Longking Company Limited in China to explore collaboration in environmental protection and sustainable mining technologies.

Armah-Kofi Buah toured the company's exhibition centre and production base in Fujian Province on Monday, where officials showcased over 200 global installations of its environmental solutions.

During the tour, he engaged officials on knowledge transfer to Ghana.

"Internship programmes, how do you build the next set of scientists that continue?" Armah-Kofi Buah asked.

The visit underscores the government's push to ensure that partnerships with major mining investors go beyond extraction to include environmental sustainability and local capacity building.

Zijin Longking is the environmental technology arm of Zijin Mining Group and holds over 60 percent global market share in converter gas purification.

Zijin Mining Group operates in Ghana through its subsidiary, Zijin Golden Ridge Limited.
