Kazan maintains relations with cities in South Africa and with the
Association of Local Authorities in South Africa (SALGA), through
inter-municipal cooperation. Active collaboration has also been established
within the World Organization of United Cities and Local Authorities.

one of the first to support the establishment of this organization.
In September 2023, a delegation from South Africa visited Kazan to take
part in a forum that brought together cities as part of the International Forum
«Russia and China: mutually beneficial cooperation». In May 2023, a retreat
called «Cities of Eurasia and Global Trends» took place in Kazan, which was
held by UCLG-Eurasia and the Kazan Mayor’s Office. The delegation from South
Africa, led by SALGA President Bheke Stofile, took part in this event. Earlier,
in 2019, representatives from Kazan, led by Ilsur Metshin, visited South Africa
to attend the 6th World Summit of UCLG.
This week, the BRICS Summit takes place in Kazan. Representatives from about 36 countries, 22 heads of states, as well as six international organizations have arrived in the city.
