13 April 2010
A successful bilateral meeting between the leaderships of the African National Congress and the Congress of South African Trade Unions ended yesterday in Johannesburg.
The meeting discussed a wide range of issues brought to the table by both organisations - including economic policy, corruption, the media and the strategic political centre. The discussions were intense, frank and fruitful.
Time did not allow for all the issues to be resolved and it was agreed that the Alliance Secretariat will urgently convene a series of further meetings, including the Political Council, further bilaterals, leading up to the Alliance Summit in June 2010.
