Balanced trade

A s diplomatic ties between the People's Republic of China and South Africa mark 26 years, these relations continue to be cherished and strengthened.

The words of Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola, "We are optimistic about the future of our partnership and look forward to further collaboration for our mutual benefit and the benefit of our people", sum up the foundation these diplomatic ties lie on.

With China's economy rivalling that of the United States, China remains a strategic partner for South Africa. Both enjoy strong trade relations and China is South Africa's largest trading partner.

Therefore, with President Cyril Ramaphosa being invited to China for a state visit - following President Xi Jinping's visit last year shows how these two countries value each other and their diplomatic ties.
