President Cyril Ramaphosa will lead the South African delegation to the 55th World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting that will take place from 20-24 January 2025 in Davos, Switzerland.
According to Ramaphosa, the meeting, convened under the theme “Collaboration in the Intelligent Age”, will foster new partnerships and insights to shape a more sustainable, inclusive future in an era of rapidly advancing technology.
“One of the messages we will be taking to Davos is our ongoing commitment to partnerships in pursuit of inclusive growth and sustainable development.
“We will present our experiences of cooperation across society in South Africa and encourage greater emphasis on partnerships in international relations.
In particular, we will make a call for global companies to partner with governments, entrepreneurs and stakeholders in emerging markets to pursue sustainable and inclusive growth,” said Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa will deliver a special address to the forum, and his address is expected to present the economic priorities of South Africa’s Government of National Unity and advance the country’s G20 Presidency which is themed “Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability,”
The presidency said the meeting is a “valuable opportunity for South Africa to demonstrate its potential as a hub for global investments and its ongoing structural reforms.”
South Africa’s delegation, which includes key government and business leaders, will engage with international stakeholders to strengthen partnerships and advance South Africa’s economic and social agenda.
