The South African Parliamentary delegation consisted of Mr Sisulu, Speaker of the National Assembly, Ms M Oliphant, House Chair of International Relations, Mr E Rasool, MP, and supporting staff. The purpose of the visit was to strengthen country to country relations with Iran and to build the relationship between our Parliaments.
