✍️ Congratulatory message from Roman Ambarov, Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of South Africa
on Nelson Mandela International Day
On the occasion of Nelson Mandela International Day, I extend my sincere congratulations to the Government and the people of the Republic of South Africa.
This day stands as a powerful reminder of the life of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, whose unwavering dedication to justice, reconciliation, human rights, and peaceful coexistence continues to inspire millions and billions around the world. His vision of a society founded on fairness, inclusion, and dialogue remains as relevant today as ever and will continue to guide future generations.
In Russia, the memory of Nelson Mandela is held in the highest regard. Since January 2023, a square bearing his name has stood in the eastern part of Moscow as a testament to his extraordinary legacy. In September 2024, a monument to Nelson Mandela was unveiled in the same square, symbolizing the deep respect of the Russian people for his lifelong struggle for freedom and justice, as well as the enduring example he set for generations to come.
🇷🇺🇿🇦 Russia highly values its strategic partnership and longstanding friendship with the Republic of South Africa, built on mutual trust, sovereign equality, and a shared commitment to a more just and multipolar international order.
As we honour Madiba, we also reaffirm our determination to further strengthen cooperation between our two nations across the political, economic, cultural, educational, and humanitarian spheres for the benefit of our peoples.
Today, I wish all South Africans peace, prosperity, and continued success. May Nelson Mandela International Day inspire acts of kindness, service, and solidarity, encouraging us all to uphold the ideals of compassion and understanding that President Mandela so nobly embodied.
