Prime Minister Narendra Modi today held delegation-level talks with the Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah at the State House in capital city of Windhoek. The deliberations were aimed at deepening the economic partnership between the two countries by exploring new areas of cooperation in critical sectors.
Several MoUs are expected to be signed, focusing on expanding cooperation in key areas such as energy security, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals between the two countries. Earlier, Prime Minister received a grand Ceremonial Welcome 21-gun salute at the State House in Windhoek.
During the visit, the Prime Minister will also pay homage to Namibia’s Founding Father and first President, the late Dr Sam Nujoma. Modi will be conferred with Namibia’s highest civilian award in recognition of his contributions to strengthening bilateral ties.
Besides, the Prime Minister will address the Parliament of Namibia, marking a significant moment in the ongoing relationship between the two nations. This is the first visit of Modi to the resource-rich South African Country, and the third ever Prime Ministerial visit from India to Namibia, which is coming after nearly three decades. Earlier in the morning, Modi reached Windhoek in the final leg of his five-nation tour.
