Minister Davies will highlight the importance of President Obama’s visit in relation to Trade and Investment and also portray South Africa as an investment destination of choice.
“The United States is one of the five major trading partners of South Africa and our trade with the US has recovered to the levels of 2008 before the global financial crisis. Also our trade has been characterised by a proportion of value added products coming from South Africa, which makes it of strategic significance to us,” said Minister Davies.
