The UK announced on Tuesday that it was partnering with South Africa in a number of initiatives and programmes to promote investment in infrastructure and skills development in the latter country. The announcement coincided with the first day of President Cyril Ramaphosa‘s State Visit to the UK, the first such visit to be hosted by King Charles III. “South Africa is already the UK’s biggest trading partner on the [African] continent, and we have ambitious plans to turbocharge infrastructure investment and economic growth together,” highlighted UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Prime Minister Sunak and President Ramaphosa will hold bilateral talks on Wednesday. “I look forward to welcoming President Ramaphosa to London this week to discuss how we can deepen the partnership between our two great nations and capitalise on shared opportunities, from trade and tourism and [sic] security and defence.”
