A South African business delegation of about 30 people is on an Outward Trade and Investment mission in Turkey this week.
The mission, led by Small Business Development deputy minister Elizabeth Thabethe, seeks to encourage local manufacturers to explore export opportunities and create jobs locally while attracting investments into the country.
The delegation has been in Turkey since Monday and the programme for the Outward Trade and Investment – which includes business seminars, business-to-business meetings and site visits – is expected to conclude on Thursday.
“As a country, we are encouraged by some of the big investment companies that have already invested in our country such as Arcelik, a leading manufacturer of home appliances in Turkey which acquired South Africa’s Defy Appliances for $324 million in 2011, the largest Turkish investment in South Africa to date,” Thabethe said.
