International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola said he did not think this means South Africa’s position was not being heard on matters where it’s adopted such an approach.
CAPE TOWN - International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola said that government stands by its foreign policy of non-alignment.
On Monday, Lamola met with his Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha, in Pretoria, who appealed to government to keep the Ukraine war at the top of the G20’s agenda when it takes over the chairmanship in a few weeks. "It's part of normal diplomatic processes. In diplomacy, you explain everything. You continue to engage all parties, and that’s why countries go around the world. We visit each other."
"We continue to state and emphasise our position of non-alignment in all these platforms that we participate in it, and to engage all parties to find long-lasting peace for the globe."
