South Africa: Minister Edna Molewa meets with EU Ambassadors On Environment
The Minister of Environmental Affairs, Dr Edna Molewa, on Tuesday 10 October 2017, met the Ambassadors of the European Union member states in Pretoria on environment-related matters.
The meeting builds on the good relations that exist between South Africa and the EU with regard to, amongst others, the development of the Circular Economy, wildlife crime and climate change adaptation and mitigation.
"The EU and South Africa are strategic partners and engage on a number of issues bilaterally, as well as in multilateral fora," said Minister Molewa.
