The meeting focused on strengthening relations between South Africa and the UK.
“We intend to further communicate with them and communicate that message and act as a bridge that must facilitate that peace process for the two countries,” Lamola told a media briefing in Cape Town. Besides the G7 members — the United States, Japan, Italy, Britain, Germany, France and Canada — the communique was also signed by South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
Lamola added: “We have said it repeatedly — we don’t view it as a platform that is anti-West. We view it as a developmental platform that will continue to aggregate the interests of the Global South.” “Since coming to power the Labour government has been keen to stress the importance of international humanitarian law and that has guided our actions,” Lammy said.
The current proposal, which emerged in September, would see the continent get two seats without veto powers. It is all the US will support but the matter is now the subject of text-based negotiations in New York.
