South Africa enjoys a long-standing relationship with the Government and the people of Guinea, solidified by the unconditional support that the people of Guinea extended to the people of South Africa during the time of the struggle against apartheid.

Upon the demise of apartheid, Guinea was amongst the first countries to open a diplomatic mission in South Africa. Furthermore, Guinea and South Africa consolidated their historic relationship by establishing a legal framework that codified our bilateral relationship through the Agreement on the Establishment of a Joint Commission of Cooperation (JCC), which entered into force November 2006. During the same year, the first Joint Commission for Cooperation was held.
