ANC welcomes visit by President Goodluck Jonathan
6 May 2013
The African National Congress welcomes the visit by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Goodluck Jonathan to South Africa tomorrow.
The state visit, President Jonathan`s first to South Africa, follows President Zuma`s visit to Nigeria last month and the African National Congress welcomes the strengthening of ties between two of Africa`s largest economies.
The expansion of relations between South Africa and Nigeria is indeed a step in the right direction towards enhancing social and cultural ties as well as fostering greater bi-national and inter-regional cooperation and integration in the interest of Africans as a whole.
The ANC further welcomes all delegates to the 23rd World Economic Forum on Africa taking place in Cape Town this week. We trust that discussions shall be robust and vibrant living up to the Forum`s theme to "Deliver on Africa`s Promise" to accelerate economic growth for the prosperity of the continent`s people.
As the ANC we believe that the future convergence of the continental economies will deliver a consolidated market which is critical for sustained growth and development, based on established fundamentals of the African Union and all regions of the continent.
