SONA 2014: 'Over the next five years we will continue to promote the building of a better Africa and a more just world'

South Africa will continue to support regional and continental processes to respond to and resolve crises, promote peace and security, strengthen regional integration, significantly increase intra-African trade and champion sustainable development in Africa.

This will entail supporting and executing decisions of the African Union as well as the promotion of the work of its structures.

We will also continue to promote South-South cooperation by utilising membership and engagements with formations and groupings of the South.

Similarly we will continue to promote mutually beneficial relations with countries of the North.

We will continue to deepen economic development, trade, and investment partnerships with the BRICS through the work of the BRICS Contact Group for Economic and Trade Issues.
