Organisations History of Relations
South
Africa and the Comoros have had official relations since 1983. Through South Africa’s role as an AU-mandated Co-ordinator, the Comoros signed the Fomboni All-Party Framework Agreement of 17 February 2001, which led to years of relative peace and stability. South Africa also played a pivotal role in supporting the process of application and subsequent admission of the Comoros as a member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
