South Africa's Position as 'Africa's Gateway' Solidified

SOUTH Africa's status as a regional logistics and infrastructure powerhouse makes it the only viable gateway for trade into the rest of Africa. This strategic advantage also gives the country a valuable and unique role as a member of BRICS, the powerful " emerging economies"  alliance between Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

BRICS member nations will form the backbone of the inaugural BRICS Africa Export Import Forum, an event designed to keep importers and exporters abreast of the constantly changing dynamics of international trade.

The three-day forum is designed to maximise multilateral trade activity and includes a programme of Intra-BRIC trade opportunity presentations as well as a series of educational workshops.

The Forum will be held together with Africa's Big Seven (AB7) Food and Beverage trade exhibition and the Southern African International Trade Exhibition. With about 800 exhibitors at these shows, delegates will have access to participants from more than 50 countries and limitless trade opportunities. All the events take place from 15 to 17 July 2012 at Gallagher Convention Centre, Midrand.
