Chinese textile experts are assessing the Zambia China Mulungushi Textile in Kabwe to ascertain the viability of the factory.
Defence Minister, George Mpombo, says the team, which was in the country about two weeks ago is assessing the production capacity of the textile plant.
Mr. Mpombo told ZNBC news in an interview that the experts also want to assess capital injection requirements.
The Minister said the technical report on the plant will be ready by mid next month.
Mr. Mpombo said officials from Zambia have also been invited to travel to China to discuss the matter.
Over one thousand workers lost their jobs after the Kabwe factory closed about two years ago.
