Conversation with Anil Sooklal, South Africa’s High Commissioner to India

Anil Sooklal, South Africa’s High Commissioner to India, is the latest guest on ‘India, Russia and the World’, the weekly podcast hosted by Runjhun Sharma, Head of News-RT India. He underlines how the Gandhi-Mandela connection is the foundation of India and South Africa’s relationship, as India was the first country to raise its voice against Apartheid on a global level. Concerning South Africa’s filing of a genocide case against Israel with the ICJ, he says freedom fighters in South Africa and Palestine share a historical bond, so South Africa has a moral obligation to support the cause of Palestinian statehood.
