The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) outreach programme will this week Thursday, 5 July 2018, be hosted in the North West Province, this as part of the build-up activities towards South Africa hosting the 10th BRICS Summit later this month.
To be addressed by the Deputy Minister for Department of International Relations and Cooperation Mr Luwellyn Landers and the Premier of North West Province, Prof Tebogo Job Mokgoro, the roadshow aims to amongst others create awareness on the significance of South Africa’s participation in BRICS and to profile the benefits of South Africa’s Chairship of BRICS, which coincides with the centenary celebrations for Nelson Mandela and Albertina Sisulu.
The North West BRICS stakeholder engagement meeting will be attended by young people from across the province, representatives from the North West University, business community, civil society, and the provincial leadership. African and BRICS Ambassadors are also expected to attend.
