Minister Godongwana I very much look forward to reconnecting with you today. We have spoken several times over the last year, including last October in Washington. I’m glad to be able to continue our conversation here in South Africa.

The United States strongly values our relationship with South Africa.

The Minister and I will discuss how multilateral development banks can better address emerging global challenges, and how that can benefit African countries. And we will discuss South Africa’s role in developing the Pandemic Fund and its continued involvement.
