According to the department, the Minister highlighted the mutually beneficial nature of bilateral trade relations, with an emphasis on how moving forward, these relations can support South Africa’s goals of achieving rapid, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, job creation, poverty alleviation and a just society.

South Africa enjoys strategic relations with the USA and has strong political, economic, and social ties. 

According to the department, bilateral cooperation with the United States covers various issues aligned with South Africa’s domestic priorities and the National Development Plan (NDP).

America is also the leading source of foreign direct investment, a market for value-added exports and agri-products, technology transfer, development assistance, investment finance, skills development, and tourism for South Africa. 

The department believes that these investments make a significant contribution to supporting government efforts to reduce poverty, unemployment and inequality. – SAnews.gov.za
