SOUNDBITE (English): CHERYL BUSS, CEO, Absa International 
"So, given their inextricable links and the economic ties and the trade and investment between China and Africa, we believe that it's important to be the face of Africa in China and to really connect with Chinese institutions, corporations, banks, development financial institutions that also have a growth strategy around Africa. It's important to connect with them in China and assist them to develop and grow their strategies across Africa."

According to data from China's Ministry of Commerce, South Africa has been China's largest African trading partner for 14 years in a row.
   
Founded in 1991, Absa is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa.
