In the context of the EU-Africa Alliance, a Spanish Trade Delegation will be organised to South Africa, the largest economy on the continent and the entry platform for the sub-Sahara African countries.
In addition, the plan also includes a business delegation to Morocco, Spain’s second biggest trading partner after the European Union, with the aim to build partnerships and take advantage of the potential for increased synergies with regional and local partners.
Promotion in foreign markets of digital platforms and Autoparts from Spain also remains a priority, through the implementation of several marketing campaigns aimed at raising awareness of Spanish suppliers.
“Following the path of SERNAUTO’s Foreign Trade Commission, an international trade plan has been agreed with a double objective: strengthening trading relations and diversity of export destinations, as well as boosting investment,” said SERNAUTO Market Segment head, Begoña Llamazares in a statement sent to just-auto from Madrid.
