The technical committees of the Genocide, Apology, and Reparations negotiations team from both Namibia and Germany are expected to provide an updated report to the High-Level Committee.

This, as Namibian and German leaders, have reiterated their commitment to resolve the painful past of the 1904–1908 genocide.

"When we were in Germany, our technical teams were meeting to negotiate, and they will report to the High-Level Committee, after which you will then hear because they have not reported, and obviously they cannot report to the media or to the public through the media before they report to the High-Level Committee because the technical committee is the sub-committee of the High-Level Committee," explained International Relations and Cooperation Minister Dr. Peya Mushelenga during a media briefing at State House today.

President Nangolo Mbumba expressed his satisfaction with the progress so far, saying, "I am pleased to inform the Namibian people that Chancellor Scholz and I share the same commitment to ensuring that we advance our bilateral relations in a manner that responds to shared prosperity and that we resolve the Genocide issue in the interests of the affected communities and Namibians at large."
