16 de abril de 2010President Jacob Zuma concluded his three-day visit to the United States on Wednesday, and will now travel to Brazil for a summit to strengthen relations between India, Brazil and South Africa, the presidency said.
The summit would allow Zuma, President Lula da Silva of Brazil and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India to discuss United Nations Security Council reform, climate change and the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals, it said in a statement.
In the US, Zuma attended a nuclear security summit, which saw 47 countries commit to securing nuclear materials by 2014, and undertook to ensure effective security of nuclear material they possessed.
The leaders also pledged to prevent the illegal obtaining of information or technology required to use nuclear material for malicious purposes, the statement read.
While addressing the summit, Zuma said it was important for states to pool their resources to fight terrorism globally.
Zuma also praised the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to strengthen nuclear security.
“Nothing should be done to undermine the authority of the IAEA and it should have adequate resources to fulfil its mandate,” Zuma told the summit.
On his visit to Brazil Zuma will be accompanied by International Relations and Co-operation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies, Minister of Science and Technology Naledi Pandor, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Tina Joemat-Pettersson, Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Sicelo Shiceka and Minister of Women, Children and Persons with Disabilities Noluthando Mayende Sibiya. – Sapa
