“There are a number of areas where South Africa and the DRC could collaborate on. South Africa is committed to working closely with the DRC in ensuring that our bilateral trade relations are strengthened and deepened,” said the Acting Deputy Director General of the Department of Trade and Industry (dti), Yunus Hoosen.
Hoosen was speaking at a Trade and Investment seminar held in Kinshasa on Monday.
The investment seminar is part of the dti’s Investment and Trade Initiative (ITI) which has taken a 30-member business delegation to the DRC.
The delegation, which represents companies in the agriculture and agro-processing, infrastructure, built environment, energy, mining and capital equipment sectors among others, arrived in the DRC on Sunday.
According to Hoosen, trade between the two countries is skewed in South Africa’s favour as it exports goods and services worth R13 billion to the DRC.
