President Macron’s first visit to South Africa is at the invitation of President Ramaphosa.
The visit is aimed at strengthening the Strategic Partnership between the two countries, which is substantiated by a number of bilateral agreements in various areas of cooperation.
The two countries are committed to advocating for world peace and security, strengthening multilateral and regional cooperation and responding to climate change.
The visit will focus on issues pertaining to the global response to Covid-19 and the economic, health, research and manufacturing responses to the current pandemic and beyond.
