Peace and stability in Africa and the world

“We want a nation that is at peace with the world. The key pillars of our foreign policy remain the promotion of human rights, peace and friendship. We continue through our international relations to advance the well-being of the South African people as we seek to advance the well-being of humanity.”

• We are fully committed to the articles of the United Nations Charter, including the principle that all members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means. We are determined that a reformed and representative United Nations must be at the centre of global affairs.
• We will continue to push for progress on the reform of the UN Security Council into a more inclusive, more effective body that is able to ensure peace and security.
• South Africa continues to stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine, who, having endured decades of illegal occupation, are now experiencing indescribable suffering.
• We support the principle of respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states and peoples and continue to participate in the different peace processes seeking to bring about a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
• We continue to advance our nation’s agenda of cooperation and multilateralism through membership of the United Nations, African Union, the Non-Aligned Movement and BRICS group of countries.
