According to the statement released by the Presidency, during the state visit the two countries aim to hold bilateral discussions on trade and business.
“The bilateral trade between South Africa and Côte d’Ivoire remains on an upward trajectory.
“Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, total trade between the two countries increased from R1, 3 billion in 2019 to R2.0 billion in 2021.”
