The year 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Africa. Over the past quarter century, the bilateral relationship has withstood the test of time and international vicissitudes. Under the cooperation of both governments, China and South Africa have achieved a “triple jump” from a partnership to a strategic partnership, and then to a comprehensive strategic partnership. This progression has continually moved towards higher quality, broader fields, and deeper levels, revealing the inherent momentum of cooperation between the two nations.
