Pretoria – Hosting the World Economic Forum (WEF) Africa will provide South Africa with an added opportunity to actively engage and lobby African leaders and international and regional businesses on possible interventions to integrate and enhance growth in South Africa and the region.
Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane said on Thursday that Cabinet, at its meeting this week, was appraised of South Africa’s participation and priorities for the event.
WEF Africa is scheduled to be held in Cape Town from 8 to 10 May 2013, under the theme: “Delivering on Africa’s promise”.
WEF-Africa is a regionally focused economic forum that provides an opportunity for local and regional businesses and investors interested in the region to exchange and even explore partnerships with governments.
Next week’s meeting is expected to focus on three key issues: accelerating economic diversification; boosting strategic infrastructure; and unlocking Africa's talent. - SAnews.gov.za
