It is my honour to welcome you to the 17th meeting of the SADC Ministerial Committee of the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation.
The Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation is an essential body that is entrusted with the maintenance of peace, stability and security in our region, but also forms an integral part of our efforts towards regional integration and development.
The SADC Treaty commits all its Member States to “consolidate, defend and maintain democracy, peace, security and stability” in the region. Our region can only be successful if there is peace and stability.
