Introduction
The European Union and South Africa
The EU and South Africa have had a strong and positive relationship as international partners since the advent of South Africa's democracy in 1994, based on the shared values of democracy, human rights, equality and sovereignty. A strategic partnership was established in 2007 to boost the bilateral relationship across all sectors. Summits, ministerial meetings and Joint Cooperation Councils take place regularly and draw on our sectoral dialogues and meetings, covering issues including, but not limited to, peace and security, human rights, trade and investment, sustainable development, education and training, and science and technology.
