Thank you, my brother Ronald, for the warm hospitality and the constructive discussion we had today in Pretoria, aimed at normalising Rwanda-South Africa relations and exchanging views on the security situation on our continent.
We are particularly pleased with the concrete outcomes of our meeting, mainly the resumption of visas for Rwandan nationals within twelve months and the relaunching of the Joint Commission on Cooperation, to be convened at the first quarter of 2027 in Kigali.
We express our gratitude to our respective Heads of State, H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa and H.E. Paul Kagame, for initiating this process, which will benefit our two peoples and the African continent as a whole.
🇿🇦🤝🏾🇷🇼
