France–South Africa relations are the diplomatic relations between France and South Africa. Between 1961 and 1974, France was South Africa's largest supplier of weaponry. France cut off diplomatic relations with South Africa in 1981 and restored relations in 1992.[1] Both nations are members of the G-20 major economies and the United Nations. The two states have strong economic ties; France was South Africa's 9th largest importer as of 2015.[2]
