In 2005, South Africa and Kuwait signed a Trade Agreement and an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement which affirmed the two countries’ commitment to build strong and mutually beneficial economic and commercial relations.  Kuwait is an important trade and economic partner for South Africa, and is the sixth largest export destination for South Africa products in the Middle East. The forthcoming visit follows on the footsteps of previous successful DTI led business delegations in 2015, 2016 and 2018.
