 I welcome you to today's ceremony where one document will be exchanged. We have the three-year strategic program of cooperation, South Africa in India 2019-2021. This will be exchanged on the South African side by her Excellency, Ms. Lindyvesh Cicillou, Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, and on the Indian side by Srimati Sushma Swaraj, Minister of External Affairs. Excellencies, this concludes the Agreement Exchange Sermon. I now request the spokesperson of the External Affairs Ministry to conduct the proceedings. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you all to this press event to begin the proceedings. May I request the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, to deliver his statement to the media. This year, Mahatma Gandhi Ji's 150th anniversary is coming to an end. Last year was the birth anniversary of Nelson Mandela's birth anniversary. Last year, our political relations were also very strong. I am very happy that the President of India, Rama Phosa, has come to this special occasion. At that time, I had the first meeting with my President, Rama Phosa. At that time, he was the First President. At that very first meeting, I had the experience of his anger and love towards India. Last year, during the Bricks Summit in South Africa, I had the experience of his anger and love towards India. I welcome the delegation of the President to India. At that time, I had the first meeting with the President of India. I had the experience of his anger and love towards India. I am very happy about this. This year, in Vibrant Gujarat, South Africa took part as a partner country. And in South Africa, in the efforts of Nivesh Badhan's President Rama Fossa, Indian companies are taking part by increasing the number. We are also a member of South Africa's Kaushal Vikas efforts. In Pretoria, Shigrahi is going to be established by the Gandhi Mandela School Institute. And both of us are committed to taking these relations in a new direction. And therefore, in a short time, we will meet the leaders of both countries. Friends, if you look at the nature of the universe, then it is clear that both India and South Africa are at a very important place in the Indian Ocean. Both of us are a world-famous country from different backgrounds. Both are the leaders of Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. And therefore, both of us have a very good relationship with each other. BRICS, G20, Indian Ocean Green Association, IBSA, which is very strong in our cooperation and cooperation with many people. We are also working together to improve the security of the country. Today, a special event is being held for the first Gandhi Mandela Forum Lecture. Not only me, but the whole of India and the whole of South Africa are very happy to hear the opinion of the President. Friends, yesterday, at the Gankantar Festival, as a member of the National Party of the Republic of Ramaphosa, I am proud to have the opportunity to strengthen our relations with each other. Once again, I welcome the National Party. Thank you. Thank you, sir. May I now invite the President of the Republic of South Africa, His Excellency Mr. Cyril Ramaphosa, to deliver his statement. Thank you. Thank you very much. Prime Minister Modi, Ministers and Deputy Ministers, Ambassadors, Honoured Guests and Ladies and Gentlemen and Members of the Press. Prime Minister Modi, thank you very much for welcoming us to Mild Wintered Delhi. We have just come back from Davos, where the temperature was minus 16. So it is a real joy and a pleasure to be in the warm climate of Delhi at this time of the day. And we also look forward, moving from the warmth of your reception, we look forward to having some hot Indian food later on this afternoon. Prime Minister Modi and I, along with our respective delegations, have just concluded fruitful talks, talks that have been aimed at deepening the relationship between South Africa and India to South Africa. India is a strategic partner and are most honoured to have been invited to pay a visit, a state visit to India at this point in time. I'm also extremely honoured by the invitation to attend tomorrow's Republic Day celebrations as Chief Guests of Honour. I'm accompanied during this visit by a high-powered delegation of Cabinet Ministers and senior officials in our government. This in itself is a reflection of the importance which South Africa ascribes and places on its relationship with India. A strong contingent representing the South African business community has also accompanied us on this visit, and the Prime Minister and I will later on address the round table of business people. During our deliberations, the Prime Minister and I were in agreement that considerable scope exists for our two countries to grow and extend and deepen our bilateral relations at a number of levels, but more particularly at the economic level, while trade has increased significantly between our two countries over the last two years and India is now South Africa's second-largest trading partner, we want to extend this relationship to higher levels. There are a number of areas of future cooperation between our two countries and some of the areas where we want to extend cooperation is in the agro-processing area or sector. It is also in defence procurement, mining equipment and technology and cooperation, also in the financial services sector. During our talks, we also reviewed the existing cordial bilateral relations between South Africa and India as encapsulated in the strategic partnership which exists between our two countries as well as the close cooperation within a number of multilateral groupings that our two countries belong to and where we work very closely with one another in BRICS and IBSA, IORA and the G20. We were also able during these talks to extend our gratitude for the support that India gave to South Africa to be elected, to be a member of the Security Council as a non-permanent member. We also remembered that South Africa and India had worked extremely well together in our first tenure as members of the Security Council when India was also a member of the Security Council as a non-permanent member. And we assured India that our tenure on the Security Council will be to extend peace and security in the world and to strengthen the multilateral system and to ensure that developing economies are given the opportunities that they deserve to grow their economies and that our tenure there will also be to ensure that ordinary people of the world do benefit from globalization. In order to ensure concrete deliverables, the Prime Minister and I deliverables from these talks, we concluded this morning a three-year strategic program of cooperation aimed at deepening the bilateral engagement between India and South Africa and ensuring that a result-oriented partnership benefits the peoples of both countries. We have instructed our ministers and officials to commence immediate implementation of this program that we have concluded in order to take our bilateral level to a higher level. It is our joy and pleasure to be here and we also remembered very fondly the visits of our founding democracy Nelson Mandela when he came here and the lecture we are going to be delivering later today is in great memory of the two icons of our two nations, Mandela and Gandhi. And it is in honor of these two icons that we have also come to pay a visit to India and Prime Minister would like to thank you for having extended this visit to us and thank you very much. Thank you, Excellency. This concludes the press event. Thank you all for joining.
