# Malawi has obtained 214-billion-rand in mining and infrastructure deals with China, positioning the landlocked country as a key player in the global critical minerals market. A 125-billion-rand deal with Hunan Sunwalk will boost titanium mining in Salima, while 89-billion-rand goes to a special economic zone in Chipoka. Malawi Mines minister, Ken Zikhale Ng’oma, says the agreements include skills transfer and community investment. With further funding for rare earths, uranium, and graphite projects, mining could contribute ten-percent to Malawi’s gross domestic product by 2030.
