Cabinet has welcomed the Official Visit to South Africa by Spanish President Pedro S\u00e1nchez P\u00e9rez-Castej\u00f3n at the Union Buildings in Pretoria, last month.<\/p>\n

Cabinet believes that the visit solidified the already strong relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n

The Spanish Minister for Industry, Trade and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, and a business delegation accompanied the President.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe visit created opportunities for various South African sectors to meet with their Spanish counterparts and to deepen cooperation in trade and investment, science and innovation, arts and culture, sports and education,\u201d the Cabinet Statement read on Thursday.<\/p>\n

This visit, according to the Cabinet, provided another boost to the country\u2019s investment and economic growth drive.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia\u2019s Tigray Peace Talks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, South Africa, under the auspices of the African Union (AU), hosted formal peace talks between the warring sides in the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, from 25 to 30 October 2022.<\/p>\n

The Ethiopian government and the northern Tigray regions signed an agreement on Wednesday to end a two-year war that has claimed thousands of lives and caused many to flee.<\/p>\n

The High Representative of the Chairperson of the AU Commission, Olusegun Obasanjo, was briefing the media in Pretoria regarding the AU-led negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo described the truce as a beginning of a new dawn for Ethiopia, and Africa as a whole.<\/p>\n

Cabinet has since expressed its support for a peaceful and sustainable solution to the conflict, in line with South Africa\u2019s foreign policy objectives of a secure and conflict-free continent. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt remains confident that there will be positive outcomes from these talks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Kenya\u2019s former President Uhuru Kenyatta and South Africa\u2019s former Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka facilitated the dialogue. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
