Today the Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Marius Fransman addressed delegations in Cape Town at the BRICS roadshow. 

The theme of the fifth BRICS Summit which will be held in Durban from the 26th to the 27 of March 2013 is BRICS and Africa: Partnership for Development, Integration and Industrialization. 

Fransman has said that government took stock regarding the importance of BRICS to every South African.

“These countries share 25% of the global GDP, 30% global land area and 33% of the global population is within the BRICS countries; so it makes obvious sense that these countries need to partner in a strategic way” Fransman added.
