Remarks by President Jacob Zuma at the Media Conference during the State Visit to China; Beijing, 25 August 2010
On behalf of the government and people of the Republic of South Africa, we extend our good wishes and gratitude to the government and the people of the People’s Republic of China for their hospitality and successful State visit to this country.
We thank our hosts for their warmth and the excellent facilities that have been put at our disposal during our stay.
This visit has come at a most opportune time. We are marking 12 years of China-South Africa relations. We have just hosted the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup tournament, and are participating in the successful Shanghai Expo.
All these have helped to market South Africa in China and to further promote relations between the two countries.
