South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has once again declared that his country will not be drawn into global power dynamics, local media reported.
Mr Ramaphosa’s televised address came ahead of the meeting of the Brics nations – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – in Johannesburg on Tuesday.
“We will not be drawn into a contest between global powers. Instead, our country strives to work with all countries for global peace and development,” he said.
He noted, however, that this “does not mean that we are neutral on matters of principle and national interest”.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin will participate virtually after he reached agreement with Mr Ramaphosa not to attend.
