During that visit the two governments agreed to facilitate directinteraction between the private sectors of both countries.Mutual trade"We set a target of $15-billion of trade between South Africa and India, to beachieved by 2014," said Zuma."According to current trade statistics this could be reached earlier than anticipated."By the end of last year the figure was close to $7-billion, he said."We are on the right path indeed. We congratulate you as business for taking thischallenge seriously," said Zuma.The ministers responsible for trade, industry and commerce were of the view that themutual trade between South Africa and India should increase to R111-billion by 2014,he said."Let me remind you that you are in the right continent at the right time.
