PM Modi Strengthens Ties on Historic Namibia Visit

Windhoek, Namibia—Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized India's commitment to enhancing bilateral ties with Namibia, describing the nation as a "valued and trusted partner" in Africa during his visit on Wednesday, which marked the conclusion of his tour across five nations.

This visit is the first by Prime Minister Modi to Namibia and only the third time an Indian Prime Minister has visited the country.

He was welcomed at the airport by Namibia's Minister of International Relations and Trade, Selma Ashipala-Musavyi, and received a traditional greeting upon arrival.

Modi's itinerary includes bilateral discussions with President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and an address to the Namibian Parliament. "Just arrived in Windhoek. Namibia is a valued and trusted African partner with whom we seek to boost bilateral cooperation. Looking forward to meeting President Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and addressing the Namibian Parliament today," he shared on X.

The Prime Minister's visit comes at the invitation of President Nandi-Ndaitwah, as stated by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in a press release prior to his tour, which included stops in Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia.

Additionally, Modi plans to honor the legacy of Namibia's Founding Father and first President, the late Dr. Sam Nujoma.

The visit underscores the profound and multifaceted historical ties between India and Namibia, according to the MEA.
