The Chamber's 20th Anniversary Message from the Prime Minister of Canada
I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to everyone marking the 20th anniversary of the Canada‐ Southern
Africa Chamber of Business.
This special occasion offers an opportunity to reflect with pride on the association’s many accomplishments while setting goals for the future. Since 1994, the Canada‐ Southern Africa Chamber of Business has organized professional and
social activities that help support economic, cultural, and social links between Canadian entrepreneurs and the business community in Southern Africa.
Canada is a trading nation whose prosperity depends in large part on engagement with the world beyond its borders. I commend members of the chamber for opening new markets for their goods, services, and investment. Your efforts to strengthen trade relationships between Canada and the countries of Southern Africa will benefit our respective economies.
Please accept my best wishes for a memorable anniversary and continued success in the years to come.
The Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P.
