ZAGREB, March 22 (Hina) - Croatian Economy Minister Davor Stern
Friday met a South-African delegation led by Deputy General
Director of the South-African Foreign Ministry, Tebogo Dan Mafole,
the Economy Ministry said in a statement. #L#
The two countries were currently negotiating agreements on
trade and investment protection as a basic prerequisite for further
economic cooperation, Stern said after the talks.
The South-African Republic was interested in increasing trade
with Croatia, which totalled US$ 8.3 million last year, Tebogo Dan
Mafole said.
The two countries would have another opportunity for
discussing these matters at a UNCTAD (UN Conference on Trade and
Development) conference in Johannesburg in late April, in which
Croatia would take an active part, Stern said.
