It is time for Namibia and Zambia to tackle climate issues, global health, and sustainable development.

These were the sentiments of Zambia's High Commissioner to Namibia, Stephen Katuka, expressed during Zambia's 60th anniversary celebration in Windhoek.

Zambia gained independence on 24 October 1964.

Zambia, formerly known as Northern Rhodesia, gained independence from Britain with Kenneth Kaunda as the country's first president, who established a one-party system.

Katuka highlighted the milestone bond between Namibia and Zambia, sharing a rich history of peace and prosperity.

He emphasised Zambia's commitment to improving the well-being of Zambians and advancing national development.

The Deputy Minister of Sport, Youth, and National Service, Dr. Emma Kantema, described the relationship between Namibia and Zambia as one that will continue to grow. She also commended Zambia for standing with Namibia in its struggle for freedom.
