South African Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Mr Alvin Botes, has concluded his Working Visit to Serbia and Bulgaria. He was there to attend the Commemorative Meeting to mark the 60th anniversary of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Bilateral Political Consultation, respectively. The meeting was attended by 120- member states, including 17 observer states and 10 international observer organisations.
The delegations deliberated on the historical importance of the Belgrade conference in 1961 by recalling the noble aim of the founding fathers of NAM held in Belgrade 60 years ago.
