Pretoria - International Relations and Cooperation Deputy Minister Luwellyn Landers has kicked off his high level official visit to five Caribbean states, today.
The Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti will underscore the cordial relations South Africa enjoys with these countries.
These countries, together with other member states of the Caribbean Community and Common Market, remain important partners in South Africa’s ongoing endeavour to build and sustain South-South linkages with a region.
“The visit by Deputy Minister Landers will thus seek to promote and sustain linkages between South Africa and the Caribbean in the important areas of trade and investment, science and technology, travel and tourism, communication and transportation infrastructure, energy, information and communication technology and cultural industries,” Dirco said on Monday.
During the visit, high level meetings have been been scheduled with senior members of Government, business, academia and the youth.
A Memoranda of Understanding on Political Consultations is also scheduled to be signed in Guyana and Suriname. – SAnews.gov.za
