South Africa is a signatory of hundreds of multilateral and bilateral agreements. South Africa is active in the international community, as evidenced by its membership of the UN Security Council, BRICS, IBSA, G20, G77 + China, the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), SADC, and various other multilateral bodies.

In this regard Ministers and Deputy Ministers travel to other countries to fulfil these international obligations. They do so in line with our commitment to a better Africa and a better world, and as a proud member of the family of nations.
