Ambassadors and High Commissioners,
Directors-General in the Presidency and the Department of International Relations and Cooperation,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Many of these relationships have their roots in the bonds of solidarity and friendship that were forged during the struggle against apartheid.
