SA Seeks to Deepen Economic Partnership With China: VP
This is "aimed at advancing trade, investment, and long-term industrial cooperation," Paul Mashatile said at the China International Supply Chain Expo.
According to him, priority areas for cooperation include:
🟠agriculture and food systems;
🟠critical minerals and green economy;
🟠advanced manufacturing, logistics and automotive value chains.
The relations between the countries continue to improve "through platforms such as BRICS, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and other multilateral engagements."
The Framework Agreement on Economic Partnership for Shared Prosperity, complemented by a zero‑tariff preference scheme, qualifies South African exports for duty‑free access to the Chinese market, he added.
"We are determined to position our country as both a preferred destination for investment and a reliable source of value within global supply chains."
