President Jacob Zuma, at the invitation of His Excellency, President Eduardo Dos Santos of the Republic of Angola, will lead a South African delegation to the 6th Ordinary Summit of International Conference of the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), scheduled to take place on 14 June 2016 in Luanda, Republic of Angola.
The Summit is expected to assess and evaluate the political and security situation in the Great Lakes Region.
While South Africa is not a member of the ICGLR, the country is nonetheless always invited as an observer to ICGLR meetings largely due to her extensive and long-term involvement in the peace-making and peace-keeping process in the Great Lakes Region.
President Zuma will be accompanied by the Minister of Defence and Military Veterans, Ms Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula and Minister of State Security, Mr David Mahlobo.
