Germany-South Africa: Let's stay Friends - From 2006 to 2010 and beyond
A new special website is dedicated to showcase the support Germany gives to football projects in South Africa. Germany and South Africa have enjoyed a close partnership for many years. With this in mind, it is no surprise that Germany and South Africa, as consecutive hosts of FIFA Football World Cups, also work closely together in this area.
The site, in English and German, also offers useful information to all visitors and international football fans about the event and its host country. The FIFA Football World Cup 2010 will show the world a new, more dynamic face of Africa.
Germany actively supports the work of the world organization in all its aspects. Ever since joining the United Nations in 1973, Germany has demonstrated a strong and continuously growing commitment to the UN system. Membership in the United Nations is a central pillar of Germany’s policy of promoting peace, security and human rights as well as development.

Africa in Germany's foreign policy: making the most of opportunities, promoting African ownership
Germany's policy towards Africa is value-based; its principles are respect for human rights, democracy, and the rule of law and peaceful resolution of conflicts. Yet Germany also has clearly defined interests. As a major exporting nation we need a reliable and well-functioning world trade system, which cannot exist without peace, security and stability.
Partnership with Africa - an initiative of the Federal President in cooperation with the Zeit-foundation
“What I want to do is raise awareness that we are all part of the human family, that we inhabit one and the same world and are all dependent upon one another. And yes, there is a moral dimension, too, I want to highlight the need for a global ethic. I believe we need to discuss issues of social justice more and more in a global and not merely a national context."
