President Cyril Ramaphosa has received a briefing from Russian President Vladimir Putin on the outcome of his recent meeting with United States President Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska.
In a statement on Monday, The Presidency said President Putin expressed satisfaction with the manner in which his talks with President Trump proceeded and the emerging alignment on the peace process.
'President Ramaphosa appreciated the briefing from President Putin. The President underscored the need for more compromise on key issues for lasting peace to be attained between Russia and Ukraine.
'Both leaders once again pledged to maintain open lines of communication and to continue their cooperation on issues of bilateral interests,' the Presidency said. South Africa has maintained its non-aligned position on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, calling on all parties to pursue negotiations as the only viable path to resolving the war.
In June 2023, President Ramaphosa led a delegation of African leaders to Kyiv and St. Petersburg in a peace mission aimed at encouraging direct engagement between Russia and Ukraine.
