During the event, the Chambers and ALABC discussed with the delegates the importance of promoting productive trade missions and functions, new business developments with the region and how to place Bilateral Trade Associations closer to the SA Government through a business plan and strategies to strengthen the relation between SA and Brazil/Chile.
