Namibia could soon export meat products to Qatar, following the expression of interest by the Gulf state.

This possibility was expressed as President Nangolo Mbumba left for Qatar to attend the 22nd Doha Forum, taking place this weekend.

The United Arab Emirates says it is willing to support Namibia in opening a diplomatic mission in the Gulf state.

Mahash Saeed Alhameli, the UAE Ambassador to Namibia, based in South Africa, paid a courtesy call on President Hage Geingob on the margins of the state visit in Pretoria.
