"The relationship between India and South Africa is deeply rooted in history, and over the years, has evolved into a strategic partnership, characterized by multi-faceted engagement covering a range of activities in the political, economic and cultural fields. Our co-operation under the IBSA and the BRICS forum adds even greater value and substance to our engagement. I am confident that in the coming years, we will further reinforce our bilateral cooperation for the mutual benefit of our two peoples.
