Investment Seminar to be held in Kimberley

The Deputy Minister of the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), Mr. Alvin Botes, in collaboration with the Northern Cape Provincial Government, through the office of the Premier, will host a seminar in Kimberley aimed at showcasing investment opportunities in the Northern Cape Province.

Foreign diplomats affiliated to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are expected to be among the participants at the seminar.

The event will bring together the business community, investors, academics, government departments, municipalities and organs of the state to explore investment opportunities available to both local and international investors.

In her address to the last Heads of Mission Conference held in April 2022 in Pretoria, Minister Naledi Pandor said the pursuit of economic diplomacy must drive the work of DIRCO, adding that this: “cannot be mere rhetoric, as the outcomes of our efforts on the ground must result in increased foreign investment and trade.”

The seminar will take place as follows:
