A dynamic ANC delegation, headed by Secretary-General Gwede Mantashe, peacefully landed in Beijing to strengthen relations with the Asian economic giant and its leading Chinese Communist Party.

On Monday, ANC spokesperson Keith Khoza said: “The purpose of the trip is to strengthen party-to-party relations. The ANC has relationships with all progressive parties around the world. We share experiences and views and perspectives on issues of international governance.”

Khoza added that the government was mainly engrossed in learning from the political parties ruling fellow members of the BRICS [Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa] union of rising market economies. South Africa became its member in December 2010.

Khoza also established that there had been quite a few ANC visits to China to let officials work together with their Chinese counterparts before the recent tour.

The tour, which the party chose not to disclose to the general public, comes in the same week when the administration botched to issue a visa to the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan leader, who was to be present at Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s 80th birthday in Cape Town in Friday, and while the world disdains the state’s abuse of the visa.
