Iran's ambassador to Namibia says the possibility of any negotiations to calm the ongoing conflict in its country are now meaningless.

Namibia says developments following the US-Israel strikes on Iran risk heightening tensions in an already fragile Middle East and undermining international peace and security.

Arican leaders and continental organizations have called for restraint, dialogue, and adherence to international law as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East following military exchanges involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. 

Namibia and Iran have identified the potential export of Namibian beef to Iran, as well as technical cooperation in the establishment of power plants, as additional areas for bilateral collaboration.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has no doubt that newly accredited Heads of Mission to Namibia will continue to build on the efforts of their predecessors.

President Nandi-Ndaitwah on Wednesday received letters of credence from five new envoys at State House.

The UN Security Council (UNSC) has rejected a resolution put forward by Russia and China seeking to delay the reimposition of sanctions on Iran for 6 months.

The proposed resolution comes amid ongoing disputes between global powers and the UN over Iran's nuclear programme.

Iran is looking at expanding its bilateral relations with Namibia across various sectors.

The country wants to enter Namibia's oil market and says it can help the country attain self-sufficiency.

Namibians who possess diplomatic, official, or service passports will no longer require visas to travel to Iran.
