JOHANNESBURG, March 24 (Xinhua) -- The South African government welcomes Chinese President Xi Jinping's upcoming visit, the Presidency1 said on Sunday.
"President Jacob Zuma will receive President of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Xi Jinping for a state visit to the Republic of South Africa on Tuesday," said the Presidency in a statement.
They will hold talks at the Presidency in the administrative2 capital of Pretoria with an expectation of signing agreements and a memorandum3 of understanding, the statement added.
On Tuesday afternoon, South Africa's Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe will pay a courtesy call on the Chinese president, according to the statement.
On March 17, President Zuma congratulated Xi on taking over as China's new president, which was announced on March 14.
"South Africa is looking forward to consolidating5 its strong relations with the PRC under the leadership of President Xi Jinping," the official Bua news agency said on Sunday.
China is South Africa's biggest trading partner, with bilateral6 trade standing4 at about 22 billion U. S. dollars in 2012.
The two presidents will join the three other leaders of the BRICS grouping at its fifth summit set for March 26-27 in the southeastern port city of Durban. It will be the first time for South Africa to host the BRICS summit since it officially became a membership of the group on Dec. 24 2010.
