The summit had focused on trade, investment, development, peace and regional stability.

President Zuma said the summit was also beneficial for the future generation of leaders, as it dealt with matters of good governance, youth development and service delivery.

The President said this in written replies to Parliamentary questions.

The Presidency said President Zuma was unable to complete the oral questions session on 21 August 2014, as he was interrupted by some Members of Parliament in the National Assembly.

The Presidency said President Zuma yesterday submitted outstanding replies to the Speaker of the National Assembly as written replies, for the benefit of the members who had asked the questions.
