SADC Group in Vietnam makes debut
(VOV) - The Vietnam-based Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Group launched in Hanoi on November 30.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Mozambique Ambassador Gamiliel Munuamble said that establishing the SADC Group in foreign countries aims to further understanding about the SADC itself and contribute to building the community through mobilising international resources for the implementation of its projects and plans.
The group will help advance the SADC’s relations with the host country in areas like politics, socio-economics, and science-technology, he added.
Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Phuong Nga congratulated the SADC on the establishment of its group in Vietnam, expressing confidence that the group will make active contributions to encouraging multi-faceted cooperation between SADC members and Vietnam.
The group is one of the most dynamic African organizations, comprising 15 member nations. Its members South Africa, Angola, and Mozambique have already opened embassies in Vietnam.
