During a business forum held at the Capital hotel in Pretoria, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said South Africa has what it take to lead the fight against climate change. “With its enormous renewable resources, South Africa is uniquely positioned to become a key player in the global hydrogen market, and the Netherlands is equally well-positioned to become a strategic partner. First as a partner for local development in the fields of renewable energy, hydrogen and infrastructure, and also as a hub for hydrogen imports,” he said. These sentiments were echoed by his Danish counterpart Mette Frederiksen. President Ramaphosa welcomed his fellow heads of state efforts, saying their investments in renewable energy would be beneficial to all three countries. Ramaphosa also used the opportunity to speak about recent travels to Russia and the Ukraine, saying it is important for the war to come to an end.
