One of the strategies of fighting crime is to ensure that those who are released from prison do not commit crime again. The country has also made good progress in reducing the numbers of children in correctional centres. The SA government tenure as SADC chair will be utilised to fast track the implementation of the SADC Industrial Strategy. The integration agenda will be accelerated through the implementation of SADC-COMESA-East African Community Free Trade Area. Trade with government’s traditional partners in the west remains a significant contributor to the SA economy. SA government will continue to partner with the United States and work together on issues of mutual interest such as the full renewal of African Growth and Opportunity Act. The relationship with the PRC China is one of South Africa’s most important and key strategic partners. The PRC is recognised by government ‘as the sole government and authority representing the whole of China’. South Africa reiterates its position and commitment to the ‘One China Policy’ and we consider Taiwan as an integral part of the PRC. At continental partnership level, the Joint Africa-European Union (EU) Strategy remains an important long-term framework for continued cooperation. The Economic Partnership agreement with the EU came into force in September 2016, thus providing new market access opportunities for South African products. Almost all South African products, about 99% will have preferential market access in the EU. About 96% of the products will enter the EU market without being subjected to customs duties or quantitative restrictions. The Southern African Customs Union Mercosur Preferential Trade Agreement has also entered into force, providing preferential access to over 1 000 tariff lines. This is an agreement that promotes South-South trade. Cooperative partnerships with other regions are bearing fruits. The BRICS New Development Bank has recorded encouraging progress. Establishment the BRICS Rating Agency Agreements with BRICS partners in the field of agriculture are in place. Government will implement off take agreements on the export of pulses, mangos and pork to India. 20 000 tons of beef to China per year for a period of 10 years will be exported to China.
