PRETORIA (Sputnik) - The leadership of South Africa expects to take part in the second Russia-Africa summit in Russia's St. Petersburg, which is scheduled for July 26-29, South African Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Naledi Pandor told Sputnik.
"When we are invited through the African Union, [we] do tend to attend all summits that involve our African leaders, and Russia being such a friend of South Africa, I can't imagine that we wouldn’t participate, so I think, the second summit which is what this will be, will be an important meeting that South Africa should play a role in," Pandor said.

The inaugural summit was held in the Russian resort city of Sochi in October 2019.
