JOHANNESBURG - South Africa aims to free up over a billion dollars in stalled weapons sales, including to Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, by amending a document at the heart of an export row, a senior arms control official told Reuters.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE buy at least a third of South Africa’s arms exports and have been engaged in a war in Yemen. They refused to agree to the inspections because they considered them a violation of their sovereignty, industry officials told Reuters in November. The new clause would state “on-site verification of the controlled items may be performed, through diplomatic process”.
Jele declined to comment on the letter, as did the head of the industry association to whom it was addressed.
