Alemania hacia Sudáfrica

Sudáfrica hacia Alemania
+35The South African government participates in the bilateral Binational Commission and strategic partnership with Germany, using these frameworks for political dialogue and cooperation on development, trade, and climate and energy policy. South Africa’s legal action against Israel at the International Court of Justice has also been a source of disagreement with Germany.
Relación general

Germany’s intervention against South Africa’s position in the International Court of Justice case concerning Israel highlights a significant international-policy disagreement, but does not eclipse the broader cooperative framework.
