JOHANNESBURG, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- The benefits South Africa gets from hosting the 15th BRICS Summit outweigh the costs that the country paid in preparing for the conference, the country's Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) said Wednesday.
"The list of benefits South Africa gained is endless. Key, among many priorities that South Africa set for itself during the summit, was to strengthen the partnership between BRICS and African countries. In this regard, BRICS leaders reiterated their support for the African Union's Agenda 2063; in particular, they supported the operationalization of the African Continental Free Trade Area through economic and financial cooperation between BRICS and African countries," the DIRCO said in a statement.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
