The Business Forum and the Business Council have emerged as central pillars of theformation. These are the words of President Cyril Ramaphosa who joined his four counterparts at the conclusion of the business segment of this year’s BRICS summit in Brazil.
Stronger Together was the sentiment at the summit and not a rugby ball in sight, as the five leaders bolstered the case for closer ties in a world of growing uncertainty. “In creating a unified African Free trade area, we aim to turn this underlying human potential into an opportunity for shared and sustainable growth. Realising this potential will require partnerships and will offer an opportunity for BRICS countries to join us in building infrastructure, sharing knowledge and creating local manufacturing capacity.”
With little clue as to some of the deals that might emerge from this forum, the Chair of the South African Chapter of the BRICS Business Council, Busi Mabuza says, “The deal, there’s a deal pipeline that we are going to be presenting to the heads of state later this evening … give us a snippet… may I do that another day.”
