SOUTH AFRICAN
BUSINESS DELEGATION ARRIVES IN CHILE
By BRIAN

South African
businesspeople who are currently participating in the Outward Trade and
Investment Mission (OTIM) to Latin America have arrived in Chile to take part in the last leg of the OTIM
which started in Peru
earlier this week.
The mission which,
starts today and ends on Friday,, will provide businesspeople with
opportunities to engage with businesses in the same sectors, learn about the
Chilean business environment and meet South African companies that are already
operating in the country.
Addressing the
delegation at a welcome function held in Santiago last night, the Ambassador of
South Africa to Chile, Dr Hilton Fisher told the businesspeople that Chile was
not easy to do business in and that only hard work can make them survive in
that market.
“The embassy can
facilitate the business environment however it is up to you as businesspeople
to ensure that you build relationships and make them work for you,” he said.
He also added that
most of the businesses that actually make it in Chile are those who have a presence
in the country.
The business
delegation will again participate in the trade and investment seminar,
business-to-business meetings and visits to different sites to see how the
Chilean businesses conducted.
