Pretoria - Cabinet has approved the amended White Paper on South Africa's Foreign Policy for submission to Parliament.
Speaking at a media briefing after Cabinet's regular meeting, Minister in the Presidency responsible for Performance Monitoring, Evaluation and Administration, Collins Chabane, on Thursday said the draft white paper was hinged on the framework of the "diplomacy of Ubuntu".
"South Africa's foreign policy is shaped by collaboration, cooperation and partnership over conflict.
"It further reflects on the inter-relationship between national interests and values, and reaffirms the pillars of South Africa's foreign policy, which are Africa, South-South cooperation, multilateralism, economic diplomacy as well as building partnerships with the North," he said, adding that the document also discussed broadly the cooperation focus for geographic regions. - SAnews.gov.za
