]]> Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Lindiwe Sisulu and her French counterpart Jean-Yves le Drian will co-host the eighth session of the forum for political dialogue in Pretoria today.

A number of bilateral agreements will be signed after the meeting.

Bilateral relations between France and South Africa were upgraded during then President Jacob Zuma’s state visit to France in 2016.

This is the first time that the joint forum will take place at ministerial level.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves le Drian and his host Lindiwe Sisulu will strive to strengthen and deepen political and economic relations between France and South Africa.

They’ll discuss issues of African significance and global governance including reform of the United Nations and the international financial institutions.
