Portugal está numa fase muito positiva do relacionamento económico e comercial com a África do Sul, é claro que as empresas portuguesas, enquanto principais agentes desta realidade, vão alcançando cada vez mais notoriedade e respeito das autoridades locais e da população Sul-africana. O passado sempre foi um bom conselheiro desta relação histórica que se iniciou com os navegadores no século XV, que se estendeu pelos séculos com fluxos migratórios portugueses mais ou menos intensos, e que chegou ao século XXI com alguns sinais de empobrecimento devido ao natural “diluir” das terceiras e quartas gerações de portugueses na identidade sulafricana. O tema da diplomacia económica ganhou particular dimensão de há três anos a Pág.1

3) Registou-se um crescimento da importação de bens e serviços Sul-africanos para Portugal de 25%, passando de 121 milhões para 152 milhões de Euros. 4) Demonstrando estes valores que há um crescimento efectivo e sustentado da relação comercial bilateral entre Portugal e a África do Sul, a balança comercial é favorável ao nosso país em 78 milhões de Euros, tendo crescido 73% em relação ao resultado de 2012. O ano de 2014 começa com novos desafios, nomeadamente o da maior afirmação da economia Portuguesa nesta região onde a África do Sul está inserida e onde os maiores expoentes são Angola e Moçambique. O objectivo será promover uma
maior afirmação das empresas Portuguesas, nos países que cabem em responsabilidade à delegação da AICEP em Pretória como a Namíbia, o Botsuana e o Lesoto. Este serviço da “Notícias e Oportunidades” pretende ser a afirmação desse objectivo facilitando informação, não apenas de conteúdo noticioso, como também relativa a oportunidades concretas no âmbito de contratação pública. Naturalmente que para este esforço tenho, sempre, contado com o apoio da Embaixada de Portugal na África do Sul, da Embaixada de Portugal na Namíbia, do Mercantile Bank, da Gauteng Growth and Development Agency e do Cônsul Honorário do Botsuana em Portugal. Esta capacidade de trabalho em conjunto é uma mais valia para as empresas e empresários portugueses e fomenta a criação de parcerias que promovam os negócios lusos nesta geografia.
