Infrastructure collaboration

South Africa, Angola and

the Democratic Republic

of Congo (DRC) will

increase their cooperation

on industrialisation and

infrastructure development

as a way of boosting interregional

trade under the

Tripartite Mechanism.

This follows the Extra

Ordinary Meeting of the

Council of Ministers of

the Tripartite Mechanism

last week during which the

Angolan minister of external

relations, Georges Rebelo

Pinto Chikoti, SA’s Minister

of International Relations and

Cooperation Maite Nkoana-

Mashabane, and Leonard She

Okitundu Lundula, minister

of foreign affairs and regional

Integration of the DRC,

reviewed their cooperation

under the Mechanism which

was signed by the respective

governments four years ago

(2013).
