What they say

The BRICS countries cover a large area and represent a key component of economic globalization. The five members can work together, build mutual trust and discuss economic cooperation. I hope my company can have an opportunity to be part of the large picture of BRICS cooperation. China is a good friend of South Africa. It has invested a lot of money in Africa and has very good relationships with African countries. China has improved the livelihood of African countries, both socially and economically. I look forward to building partnerships with Chinese companies.

Our country has zero tolerance toward crime. South African police support BRICS, and safety and security will be ensured throughout next week's event (BRICS Summit). Our business is to protect people, combat crime, as well as end violence and all forms of unacceptable behavior that threaten the safety and security of the people. The country appreciates all the great minds sharing their ideas with us on China's vision of jointly building a community of a shared future for mankind. We, as the South African police service, are committed to doing more to foster a culture of good governance and integrity.
