“Our visit to Sweden has been more than successful, because we were able to achieve nearly every objective that we had set for ourselves. The first thing was to renew the relationship between South Africa and Sweden at a number of levels.

‘’Politically we were able to reconnect with the political leadership of Sweden and confirm once again that we are friends, that we have a lot that is common between the two countries and commit ourselves to continue working together for the development of our peoples,” said the Deputy President at the conclusion of the visit on Wednesday.

The visit to Sweden is part of a three-nation visit – the Deputy President is expected to travel to Cuba from 21 to 26 October 2015 and then on to Mexico.
