South Africa’s Presidency outlined trade, industrialisation and infrastructure priorities as Cyril Ramaphosa arrived for September’s BRICS summit in New Delhi.

The published programme included digital-economy discussions and a business roundtable focused on bilateral investment, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure and minerals.

The statement records planned engagements and policy aims. It does not establish that those meetings produced new deals. This September report is retained as dated context within the BRICS section.

WHY IT MATTERS

The statement identifies South Africa’s priorities while distinguishing policy aims from completed investment deals.
