Belgium called on South Africa on Thursday to use its influence with Russia to end the conflict in Ukraine.
The appeal was made during a state visit by the Belgian king to Pretoria.
King Philippe is travelling with Queen Mathilde and Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib during a five-day state visit to the country.
President Cyril Ramaphosa responded to the call by saying that Pretoria continues “to use the channel we have with Russia…to talk about how the conflict can be brought to an end”.
