SA youth to be trained in Japan

Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa wrapped up a visit to to Japan this week promoting political and economic relations.

Ramaphosa says they have also asked Japan to facilitate the training of artisans and welders.

He says growing the economy, investment and skills development are important to such relationships.

''We push the skills development button and get as many of our young people to come to be trained in the countries where we visit because it's important to draw skills as many as we possibly can.

''So we want to flood some of these countries young people can come and learn and then return home,'' he said.
