SOUTH AFRICA AND PERU
SHOULD COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER TO BUILD ECONOMIES
BY BRIAN KAJENGO
South Africa and Peru
have a wide range of opportunities which they can utilise to complement each
other instead of competing to build their economies. This said by the President
of the Lima Chamber of Commerce (LCC) Mr Jorge Von Wedemeyer at the Trade and
Investment seminar hosted by the LCC in the Peruvian capital. The seminar hosted
as part of the Outward Trade and Investment Mission that took place in that
country.
“South Africa and Peru share many similarities as
well as commonalities in terms of the people, cultures and the fact that they
are both situated in the southern hemisphere. It is for this reason that the
two countries should identify areas that they can explore together and
collaborate in order to build our economies,” said Mr Wedemeyer
The Ambassador of
South Africa to Peru Ms Elsa
Dry highlighted that South African products had been available in Peru in the
past and they known for their good quality.
“Our country is
celebrating 20 years of freedom this year and we are therefore making our
presence known around the world. We are bringing back the good quality products
to the Peruvian market and we believe the Peruvians will love them,” said
Ambassador Dry.
She encouraged the
South African business delegates to take in as much information as possible so
that they can be equipped to start doing business with the Peruvians. She also
told the delegates that in as much as government can arrange these platforms,
it is really up to them to make the most of it and ensure that they benefit
from this mission.
The business
delegation also informed of the macro-economic situation in Peru, the Peruvian economic environment and
investment background, how to do business with Peru and about the operational
aspects related to the export of products to the country.
