JOHANNESBURG, July 22 (Xinhua) -- South Africa will attend the 14th BRICS Trade Ministers Meeting later this week in Moscow, Russia, to seek trade and investment opportunities, a government official said on Monday.
"South Africa will continue to identify opportunities for cooperation with BRICS partners, both bilaterally and through the BRICS platform, that would present opportunities for the continent to transition away from its historic role as a commodity exporter toward higher productivity value addition," said Zuko Godlimpi, South African deputy minister of trade, industry and competition, before departing for the meeting.
