Zuma attends Brics conference in London

Spokesman Mac Maharaj said the conference would run from October 25 to 28.

 

"South Africa's participation in the conference will be within the context of promoting the country as a prime business destination," he said in a statement.

 

Zuma was expected to give a keynote address during the conference outlining South Africa's role in BRICS (an association between Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and on the African continent.

 

It would also be in light of South Africa's National Development Plan and Vision 2063.

 

Zuma and the delegation would also engage with UK business leaders and opinion makers.
