Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa is on an official visit to Japan to strengthen and consolidate strategic bilateral political and economic relations between the two nations, South Africa and Japan.

Ramaphosa is expected to address South Africa-Business Forum Plenary round-table discussion on investment on energy.

Ramaphosa said, “Even in tough economic times, we are tackling the low level of growth in our country. We have embarked on really effective policies and we therefore spreading the word around the world that we are open for business.”

During his visit, Ramaphosa will also meet Tokyo’s ambassador, Yasushi Akashi to discuss peace-building efforts, rehabilitation and reconstruction in Sri Lanka.
