Defence Minister Thandi Modise is in Russia for the 10th Moscow Conference on International Security, just days after the release of a document stressing the threats posed by China and Russia to the United States' interest in sub-Saharan Africa.
Just days ago, the United States raised concerns about the threats China and Russia posed to its interest in sub-Saharan Africa.
Modise is also expected to engage with defence ministers and experts from across the globe on security challenges. "South Africa stands ready to work with all peace-loving nations of the world, through relevant multilateral bodies, to contribute meaningfully towards lasting peace in the world," Monama said.
China saw the region"as an important arena to challenge the rules-based international order, advance its own narrow commercial and geopolitical interests, undermine transparency and openness, and weaken US relations with African peoples and governments," the paper stated.
