JAKARTA - South African President (Afsel) Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa expressed his appreciation for the historical relationships that have existed for a long time, especially since Indonesia is an ally that consistently supports the struggle against apartheid.
President Ramaphosa highlighted Indonesia's important role in the struggle of the South African people against apartheid inspired by the 1955 Asia-Africa Conference in Bandung.
"For years, the people of South Africa have found loyal allies in Indonesia, who have consistently supported the fight against apartheid. We will always be grateful for the support and solidarity of the Indonesian people," Ramaphosa said during a bilateral meeting that took place in a working lunch format with their respective delegates at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday, which was confiscated by Antara.
Furthermore, President Ramaphosa highlighted the great potential for economic cooperation through the BRICS forum as a forum to encourage more inclusive global reforms.
Ramaphosa also welcomed Indonesia's activeness in establishing economic partnerships with BRICS countries and encouraged this collaboration to become a catalyst for the growth of bilateral economic relations.
"The BRICS economic partnership also provides great potential to support development and transformation in our country, and we encourage the deepening of Indonesia's participation in all BRICS structures, particularly in the BRICS economic partnership," said President Ramaphosa.

President Ramaphosa also emphasized that the cooperation between Indonesia and South Africa is based on the spirit of togetherness and common goals in overcoming social challenges such as unemployment, poverty, and inequality.
He also encourages increased community participation which has been marginalized from economic activities so that it can play a bigger role in development.
On that occasion, President Ramaphosa expressed his appreciation for Indonesia's active role in various international forums, including in the G20 cooperation where South Africa this year was the host.
Ramaphosa welcomes President Prabowo's planned presence at the G20 Leaders Summit in Johannesburg next month, which is considered important for strengthening the position of countries in the southern global region on the world stage.
