Minister Lamola highlighted a range of compelling investment opportunities in the renewable energy, technology and tourism sectors. These areas align with California\u2019s innovation-driven, sustainability-focused agenda. The engagements included visits to the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.<\/p><p>The visit powerfully showcased South Africa\u2019s dynamic film, music, and arts sectors, leveraging Los Angeles\u2019s creative leadership to position the nation as a premier destination for international co-productions and cultural exchange. Mobilising the South African diaspora amplifies South Africa\u2019s \u201csoft power,\u201d strengthens its global brand, and fosters invaluable business linkages.<\/p><p>The visit culminated in an active discussion at the Los Angeles World Affairs Council and Town Hall. Minister Lamola used the occasion to reiterate that South Africa\u2019s foreign policy is guided by its national interests: tackling poverty, unemployment, and inequality; the need to advance global democracy; and the rule of international law and multilateralism and the need to attain international peace.<\/p><p>\u2013 Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dirco.gov.za\/\">www.dirco.gov.za<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, has concluded a successful Working Visit to Los Angeles, California.
