China, he added, had been helpful in Zimbabwe's development processes and "definitely we are going to do so with the new government of Zimbabwe and make our contributions to Zimbabwe's transition and development."

Meanwhile, Lin said a constructive opposition was essential in Zimbabwe and Africa to foster democracy and development.

He urged the opposition in Zimbabwe to desist from violence and to resolve any electoral disputes through legal channels.

The former Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe also stressed the need for people of Zimbabwe to work together regardless of political affiliation.

"The spirit of working together is highly needed in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is bestowed with rich natural resources, well educated people and a multiparty system and I think if people could work together, different political parties work together and they can make a huge difference."

The Chinese envoy spoke as running battles ensued Wednesday afternoon between police and opposition supporters in the capital Harare protesting against alleged rigging of the election.
