Patel will provide an update on South Africa's preparedness for hosting the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) Forum, with insights into the forthcoming programme. Agoa is a US trade programme that provides eligible countries in Sub-Saharan Africa with preferential access to US markets.

Agoa aims to promote economic growth, reduce poverty and foster a stronger trade partnership between the US and African nations.

South Africa will co-host 2023's forum in Johannesburg from November 2-4.
