I am honoured to serve as Chair of the Delegation for Relations with South Africa. South Africa is a vital partner for the European Union - our only strategic partner on the African continent. Our longstanding cooperation has fostered a strong, constructive parliamentary dialogue, grounded in shared values such as democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. This relationship not only deepens EU-South Africa ties but also benefits from South Africa's role as a key regional power and voice for the Global South.

As we navigate a rapidly evolving global landscape, parliamentary diplomacy will remain crucial in tackling challenges like climate change, inequality, and global security. Through regular Inter-Parliamentary Meetings and deeper civil society engagement, we aim to strengthen collaboration, uphold multilateralism, and develop innovative solutions. I am committed to leading this delegation with ambition and cooperation, ensuring our strategic partnership continues to deliver for both our regions.
