South Africa is working closely with Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia to establish free trade agreements that will propel the nations drive to diversify its markets.
This was announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa following a visit to the region over the past week, signifying a new chapter of robust economic partnership.
Southeast Asian trade with South Africa is just some 22-25 billion. It needs to be much higher than that and the three countries agreed that we need to increase trade and increase investment into each others countries. That is the main determination that we now go home with.
