Foreign relations of South Africa

Since its inception in 1910, the nation of South Africa has played an active role in global affairs. It has participated in both World Wars on the side of the Allies, was a founding member of both the League of Nations and the United Nations, and remains an influential member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Throughout its history, South Africa has pursued a staunchly pro-Western foreign policy.
South Africa plays a pivotal role in the African continent, providing development aid, peacekeeping forces, and moral leadership. Nearly every African country is a recipient of South African economic and military aid, and South Africa has diplomatic relations with every country on the continent. South Africa has signed mutual defense treaties with Comoros, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, and Seychelles. South Africa is the world's largest supplier of arms to African countries, the biggest trade partner of most of Africa, and the largest contributor of development aid. As such, its influence in the continent is immense.
