HONG KONG, April 15 (Reuters) - China Communications Construction <1800.HK>, the country's top builder of highways and ports, said on Wednesday it may issue new shares to lower its debt level.
"It will depend on the situation of the capital to study the possibility of the issue of shares to cut debt," Chairman Zhou Jichang told reporters.
