President Zuma to address the Heads of Missions Conference
His Excellency President Jacob Zuma is scheduled to address the Heads of Missions (HoM) Conference taking place at the Department of International Relations and Cooperation in Pretoria.
The 2013 conference takes place against the backdrop of the approval of the National Development Plan (NDP) by Cabinet and the welcoming of the plan by the general public. Therefore the purpose of the Heads of Mission conference is thus to inform South Africa’s 126 Heads of Mission of the main elements of the NDP, as supported by the New Growth Path, and to determine the role of South Africa’s diplomatic missions in advancing South Africa’s national interests and priorities, in particular on the African Continent.
This year’s Heads of Mission Conference coincides with two historic events in the history of our struggle for our liberation. Firstly, it takes place on a month that marks the 19th year since the dawn of our democracy in 1994; and Secondly, a year that marks the 50th Anniversary of the Organization of African Unity/African Union since its formation in 1963.
