President Cyril Ramaphosa who is also leader of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) reaffirmed cordial relations with the Communist Party of China and reiterated South Africa's support of the non-aligned foreign policy position taken by the Asian country on the Russia-Ukraine war.  Without mentioning the United States by name, Ramaphosa added that the ANC detested the domination by a single state or its nation's military, and economic power, over how the rest of the world ought to conduct itself.
