The ANC on Wednesday reaffirmed its cordial relations with the Communist Party of China when President Cyril Ramaphosa reiterated South Africa’s support of the non-aligned foreign policy position taken by the Asian country on the Russia-Ukraine war.
Despite SA facing heavy criticism from, among others, the United States, for taking a non-aligned foreign policy position on the war, Ramaphosa said: “South Africa applauds China’s principled foreign policy posture.”
He was speaking during a dialogue with the Chinese Communist Party and other political parties from across the globe at a high-level meeting.Ramaphosa said China's policy posture was “based on the principles of non-interference and mutual benefit”.
Without mentioning America by name, Ramaphosa added that the ANC detested the domination by a single state or its nation's military, economic power, and social and cultural influence over how the rest of the world ought to conduct itself regarding the recent political developments across the globe.
“We are opposed to a unipolar world order driven by unilateralism and continue to strive for a multipolar global order based on mutual respect and the creation of win-win partnerships. The idea that there should be harmony between humanity and nature is an ancient value that we need as we reverse the effects of climate threats while building a human community with a shared future.
