Rainbow nation's big fair impression

The rainbow nation of South Africa is determined to impress people this autumn by offering a large number of business opportunities at the 17th China International Fair for Investment and Trade that runs from Sept 8 to 11 in Xiamen, Fujian province.

"We have 62 enterprises in our delegation. Forty two of them are exhibiting high value-added products, including agricultural and chemical products, while another 20 offer investment projects," said Rob Davies, South Africa's Department of Trade and Industry minister.

As the only country named guest of honor at the CIFIT, South Africa has probably the largest pavilion of all countries and regions represented at the annual event.
