The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation of the Republic of South Africa is making a 24-hour visit to Moroni this Friday, September 1. Naledi Mandisa Pandor will be received early in the morning by his Comorian counterpart, Dhoihir Dhoulkamal.
The two officials will discuss numerous subjects linked to, on the one hand, the Comorian presidency of the African Union, and on the other hand, the various political and institutional crises which punctuate the continent. The face-to-face meeting between the two heads of diplomacy will take place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The two ministers will also examine the level of bilateral cooperation and will sign, at the same time, “a framework cooperation agreement” for the establishment of a Comoro-South African joint commission.
South Africa, one of the continent’s heavyweights, plays an eminently strategic role in the new reconfiguration of the international order and remains a privileged interlocutor in the resolution of numerous crises in Africa. An ally of many countries, South Africa has a strong voice across the continent and is very courted by the great powers because of its economic weight and its status as a member of the G20.
