China’s President Xi Jinping arrived in South Africa at midnight on Monday for his fourth state visit to the country, which coincides with the 15th BRICS Summit. After arriving at the OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg at midnight on Monday, Xi was welcomed with a cultural song and dance performance as well as a military parade by the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). He was received by President Cyril Ramaphosa who will host the Chinese leader in the executive capital, Pretoria, on Tuesday ahead of the BRICS summit which runs from August 22 to 24. BRICS is a bloc of emerging economies that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. It currently makes up a quarter of the global economy and is also home to more than 40 percent of the world’s population. Writing in his weekly column on Monday, Ramaphosa said 2023 marks 25 years of diplomatic ties between South Africa and the People’s Republic of China. “Our bilateral relationship with our largest trading partner is almost as old as our democracy,” he said. South Africa has a great deal to learn from China’s development path. Among other achievements, China has lifted nearly 800 million people out of poverty over a 40-year period.” Ramaphosa said as partners in development, China and South Africa have long shared a common understanding that trade and investment are the foremost catalysts for improving the living standards of their respective peoples. Xi will also attend the BRICS summit, where Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi are also expected to be present. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is facing an international arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Ukraine, is not attending the meeting. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will represent him. More than 30 heads of state and government from across Africa will be attending the summit. Earlier on Sunday, Ramaphosa said South Africa will not be forced to side with any global powers as he readied to play host to the summit. “While some of our detractors prefer overt support for their political and ideological choices, we will not be drawn into a contest between global powers,” Ramaphosa said in a televised State of the Nation address. “We have resisted pressure to align ourselves with any one of the global powers or with influential blocs of nations,” he said. 1 Like 1 Share

With ALL that is going on in the World right now, Keep your Eyes on the news with your BIBLE OPEN. So much prophetic convergence is taking place. Global Government this, Global Currency that, Global Treaty here, Global Agenda there... This is the first time in human history that so much *GLOBAL* activity is being implemented. Global. That's the key. Not a nation here or there in isolation. Global action. Get ready! Be ready! Jesus is coming |

Nigeria is in a tight corner and surely not able to take advantage of the repositioning opportunities provided by the BRICS alliance due to so many reasons like indebtedness to IMF, WB, US and UK as well as an handicapped president who commands zero respect due to his many baggages. I wish we still had someone like OBJ as president and also that time we had very favourable external reserve and competitive might in Africa. These days, even the likes of Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi etc have pushed us further back on the international politics table while we cling to the empty age-old toga of " ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Good.. Mutual respect is what we want. Africans are humans too and not some animals to be trampled upon like France is doing to Francophone countries in West Africa. The Chinese president is welcome to Africa; the cape of good hope. |

Tonymegabush1: BRICS will be expanding, and Nigeria is next to join. BRICS can never be complete without Nigeria, the biggest economy in Africa, which is projected to be the 3rd most populous country on Earth after India and China by 2050. It's only a matter of time. |
