Worth the trek: Japan's interest in southern Africa grows

Article Abstract:

Japan and South Africa are forging stronger bonds, as evidenced by an agreement for direct air transport between the two countries. This is expected to precipitate the economic cooperation which was started in May 1992 with the South African visit of a Japanese economic mission. Japanese investment in electronics, automobiles, telecommunications and mining may be pursued to counter Chinese and Taiwanese dominance in the region. South Africa should benefit from Japanese market representation and domestic development investment.
