A Number Of African Countries Came To Us And Said, We Request That South Africa Should Not Field A Candidate, Because So Many Other African Countries Wanted To, And, In Any Case, South Africa Would Continue To Play A Role In Terms Of Building The African Union, And So On. And They Actually Said, Please Don't Field A Candidate, And We Didn't. As I Have Said, It Is Not Because We Didn't Have People Who Are Competent To Serve In These Positions.

We Will Continue To Count On Your Unwavering Support And Commitment To Working With Leaders Of Our Continent In Bringing About The Desired Renaissance Of Africa.

For Instance With Regard To Tourism, That We Should Be Able To Target People Who Are Interested In Investing In The Tourism Sector And Explain That This Is The Size Of The Market, These Are The Incentives In This Particular Area, This Is The Capacity, This Is What Is Needed.

I Should Also Say That Apart From The Negotiations That Are Taking Place Within The Wto, We Are Ourselves Involved In All Manner Of Bilateral Negotiations, Or, If They Are Not Bilateral, With The South African Customs Union And The European Union. All The Member Countries Of The European Union Have Now Ratified The Agreement That We Have With The Eu And That Opens Up The Eu Market In Various Ways.
