EAM Jaishankar To Embark On 6-Day Visit To South Africa, Namibia From June 1, Attend BRICS Foreign Ministers Meet

S Jaishankar is slated to visit South Africa and Namibia from June 1 to June 6. He will visit South Africa from June 1 to June 3 to participate in the BRICS Foreign Ministers meeting in Capetown.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is slated to visit South Africa and Namibia from June 1 to June 6, the Ministry of External Affairs said. According to MEA, Jaishankar will visit South Africa from June 1 to June 3 to participate in the BRICS Foreign Ministers meeting in Capetown. Besides attending the meeting he will also hold a bilateral meeting with his South African counterpart Naledi Pandor. Jaishankar will also call on the President of South Africa and is expected to hold bilateral meetings with other BRICS Foreign Ministers.

He will also participate in ‘Friends of BRICS’ Ministers from other countries, MEA said. He will also be interacting with the Indian Diaspora in Capetown.

Last week on Sunday, S Jaishankar said that India is facing a "very complicated challenge" from China, and the Central government has taken steps to make sure that no attempts to make any change in the status quo in the border areas unilaterally take place at all, reported PTI.

The minister added that the challenge was "very visible" in border areas in the last three years. Jaishankar noted that both India and China have to find an equilibrium in the relationship, but it cannot be on the terms of the other party. He was delivering an address on 'Modi's India: A Rising Power' at the Anant National University in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

According to PTI, he said that if peace and tranquillity between the two nations are disturbed, their relationship will not remain unaffected. "When I talk about big powers, of course we have a particular challenge from China. That challenge is a very complicated challenge, but in the last three years it has been particularly visible in the border areas," Jaishankar said referring to China's incursions in eastern Ladakh, as quoted by PTI.
