Presidents Bola Tinubu and Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa have underscored the need for strong ties between the two countries.
The two leaders met in Johannesburg where they reached an agreement on issues affecting their countries.
President Ramaphosa thanked President Tinubu for honoring the invitation to attend his inauguration for a second term in office.
“Thank you so much for coming for the inauguration. I was very happy to see my brother at the ceremony,” the South African President said.
President Tinubu said President Ramaphosa’s inaugural speech captured most of the challenges faced by African countries and the need for more collaboration among leaders and citizens to provide solutions.
“I really enjoyed your speech at the ceremony. I was delighted listening to you. We have lots of issues in common, and we need to work more closely together. It was a good celebration,” the President stated.
President Ramaphosa was re-elected into office for a second term on Friday, June 14, following an agreement for a Government of National Unity between the African National Congress (ANC) and the main opposition Democratic Alliance.
