International Relations and Cooperation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane is scheduled to host her Angolan and Congolese counterparts for the third Session of the Ministerial Meeting of the Tripartite Mechanism on Dialogue and Cooperation between the Republic of South Africa, the Republic of Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo on Saturday, 12 September 2015, in Pretoria.
South Africa, Angola and the DRC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing the Tripartite Mechanism on Dialogue and Cooperation in Luanda, Angola, in August 2013.
The objective of the Mechanism is to support the consolidation of peace and stability in the DRC. The three countries have agreed to establish the Permanent Secretariat Offices of the Mechanism, to be hosted in Luanda, Angola, in order to drive this strategic cooperation.
Amongst other things, it is expected that the Ministerial Meeting will review progress in the implementation of the MoU.
