President Ramaphosa Heads to Côte d’Ivoire to Champion South African Investment at Africa CEO Forum

President Cyril Ramaphosa will travel to Côte d’Ivoire on Monday for a key working visit aimed at strengthening economic ties and elevating South Africa’s position as a top investment destination. The trip coincides with the 12th edition of the Africa CEO Forum, taking place in Abidjan — a premier platform where Africa’s business and policy leaders converge.

According to the Presidency, the visit is intended to deepen cooperation between South Africa and Côte d’Ivoire, building on years of solid diplomatic and commercial relations. With both nations prioritising economic growth and regional integration, this meeting of minds comes at a pivotal time for African development.

The Africa CEO Forum provides President Ramaphosa with a stage to engage directly with investors, CEOs, and policymakers from across the continent. With sectors like infrastructure, energy, and digital innovation high on the agenda, the forum is a strategic space to advance South Africa’s economic vision.

Ramaphosa is expected to showcase key economic reforms his administration has undertaken—particularly efforts to improve the ease of doing business, attract sustainable investments, and drive inclusive growth.

This year’s forum takes place under the broader context of South Africa holding the G20 Presidency, giving added weight to Ramaphosa’s presence. His participation underscores the country’s growing influence in shaping global economic policies that can benefit not just South Africa, but the entire African continent.

Since its launch, the Africa CEO Forum has become a cornerstone event for African business dialogue, providing a space where game-changing ideas are discussed, partnerships are formed, and innovative projects are born.

As President Ramaphosa steps onto this pan-African stage, all eyes will be on South Africa—not just as a participant, but as a driving force for economic transformation across the continent.
