Mozambique’s President Daniel Chapo visits Namibia to attend the inauguration of President-elect Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and the country’s 35th Independence Day celebrations. The visit, from March 21, aims to strengthen cooperation between the two countries and engage in discussions on mutual interests, with a delegation including the First Lady and Foreign Minister.
The President of Mozambique, Daniel Chapo, will travel to Namibia at the invitation of Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba. His visit is scheduled for Thursday and includes participation in the inauguration of Namibia’s President-elect, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who will officially take office on March 21, coinciding with Namibia’s 35th Independence Day celebrations at the Independence Stadium in Windhoek.
During his stay, which lasts until the 21st, President Chapo will engage in various official activities that are significant for enhancing Mozambique-Namibia relations. The visit aims to solidify cooperation between the two nations, allowing President Chapo to interact with other Heads of State and Government attending the inauguration.
The agenda will encompass discussions on mutual interests with a focus on deepening bilateral relations and forging new strategic partnerships. Accompanying President Chapo will be the First Lady, Gueta Chapo, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maria Manuel dos Santos Lucas, as well as representatives from the Presidency and other Mozambican state institutions.
Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, the first woman president-elect in Namibia, previously served as vice president and won the election with 57.31% of the vote, securing her position without the need for a runoff. Her leadership continues the long-standing governance of the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO) following the death of former President Hage Geingob last year. Since gaining independence from Germany in 1990, Namibia has experienced continuous leadership from SWAPO.
In conclusion, President Daniel Chapo’s visit to Namibia signifies an important step in strengthening the diplomatic ties between Mozambique and Namibia through the participation in key celebrations and discussions. The inauguration of President-elect Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, along with the focus on bilateral cooperation, positions both nations to enhance their collaboration in economic and regional development.
