Organisations History of Relations The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was the first Arab country to establish full diplomatic relations with South Africa in 1993. In December 1994 South Africa established a resident mission in Amman.
In April 1996 the late king Hussein led a delegation attending an UNCTAD Conference in South Africa. This attendance was upgraded to the level of a State Visit. During October 1999 the former President Mandela briefly visited Amman and his visit did much to enhance the bilateral relationship.
