South African trade delegation gets support from Biden Administration, Congress for AGOA renewal
A high-level South African trade delegation led by the government says it has had a successful visit to the US.
A top-level South African trade delegation to the US led by the government says it has garnered support from President Joe Biden’s administration and members of Congress for a renewal of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act . At the same time the delegation also secured broad support for strengthening bilateral trade and investment relations between SA and the US, the DTIC said.
AGOA is a US trade law that significantly enhances market access to the country for qualifying sub-Saharan African countries, including South Africa. DTIC said the delegation also used the engagements to advocate for the early reauthorisation of Agoa, including exploring enhancements that facilitate greater utilisation and create the necessary policy stability to promote private sector investment and African exports into the US.
