Africa Trip

Asked why the Prime Minister (PM) decided it would be appropriate to go to South Africa now, the Prime Minister’s Spokeswoman (PMS) said that the PM was clear in his press conference that is was important to bang the drum for British Business in Africa, as he had in China and India. It was important for the PM to press ahead on all fronts, but the PMS also pointed out that he was not out of touch with what was going on in the UK.

Asked why the PM has cut the trip short, the PMS said that the trip had been kept under review and that, although there were issues in the UK, the PM had wanted to go for some of the trip to keep certain meetings, such as his meeting with President Zuma, and to push British business in Africa.
