German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier pays working visit to SA

President Cyril Ramaphosa will today host President Frank-Walter Steinmeier of the Federal Republic of Germany for a working visit at Mahlamba Ndlopfu, the President’s official residence in Pretoria.

According to the Presidency, the visit will highlight the “30th anniversary of democracy in South Africa and the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall”.

“The leaders will have an opportunity to engage on a variety of issues of mutual interest, thereby enhancing the strategic relationship and fostering closer cooperation between the two countries.

“South Africa has a very substantial and diverse relationship with Germany. Germany is one of South Africa’s most important strategic partners and is the third largest market for South African exports, the third largest source of overseas tourists, as well as a major investor and development partner,” the Presidency said ahead of Friday’s visit.

The German leader visits South Africa after attending a three-day State Visit to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“During his visit [to South Africa], President Steinmeier will be accompanied by a business delegation of 10 German CEOs and will participate in a business roundtable during the afternoon of 13 December 2024. 

“He will also lay a wreath at Freedom Park.  He will also visit Lesotho on 14 December 2024 before returning to South Africa for an onward flight to Germany,” the Presidency said. – SAnews.gov.za
