The Minister of Defence and Veterans Affairs, Frans Kapofi, has called on the defence forces to step up training and remain combat-ready at all times.
  
He made these remarks during a reception parade for the Namibian contingent to Mozambique at Hanganee Katjipuka Barracks in Windhoek on Friday.

The Namibian Defence Force (NDF) has participated in several international peacekeeping missions this year.

The Ministerial Committee of the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security was able to implement 86% of the decisions taken.

The Chairperson, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, disclosed this during the closing ceremony of the five-day meeting of the organ held in Windhoek.
