Ministers, Deputy Ministers and other representatives of South Africa, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia, participating in the First Ministerial Meeting of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) African Partner Countries, on Wednesday agreed that they would work to conclude and sign a Memorandum of Understanding, defining the spirit and scope of their cooperation, by June 30, 2015. This, in turn, will be the first step in the creation of a Multilateral Agreement, to be signed by January 1, 2018. This was one of the Pretoria Resolutions, which encompass the outcomes of the First Ministerial Meeting, signed in Pretoria on Wednesday. “This is the first time that Ministers and Deputy Ministers have got together to agree on the way forward,” South African Science and Technology Minister Derek Hanekom told a press conference after the signing.
