During the Year of South Africa in China, more than 50 events about South Africa, including trade seminars, arts programs and educational projects, have been held in China. The reciprocal cultural year program is a ground-breaking event in the history of China-South Africa relations. “The relations between China and South Africa are developing with a sound momentum,” Ding Wei, deputy minister of the Cultural Ministry said.

2015 will be the Year of China in South Africa. With the increasing mutual political trust and deepening cooperation between China and South Africa, 2015 will be an important year for bilateral relations.
