Maseru, Apr. 02 — A delegation of senior officials, led by South Africa’s G20 Sherpa and the Director General of the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), Mr. Zane Dangor, visited the United Nations General Assembly to brief them on South Africa’s G20 Presidency.
This is according to a press statement issued by South Africa’s Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation. It states that the General Assembly overwhelmingly endorsed the priorities and theme of the South African G20 Presidency.
During their visit, the delegation advanced discussions originally initiated by the former US Ambassador Ebrahim Rasoo before his expulsion by the US state department in March.
The statement indicates that the delegation directly addressed the perception that the South African Government’s policies are designed to violate the human rights of minorities in post-apartheid South Africa. AT/TL
