Cuba has bestowed its highest honour, the Order of José Martí, on President Hage Geingob.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez made the announcement at State House in Windhoek.

More than 170 Namibian students graduated in various disciplines of the medical field in Cuba last month.

President Hage Geingob says Namibia is fortunate to have Cuban health professionals extend their services countrywide.

Namibia and Cuba have signed three agreements to expand cooperation in various fields.

The agreements govern trade, political, and diplomatic consultations, as well as the exchange of prisoners convicted in either country.

The President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz Canel-Bermudez, says Namibia has become a beacon of peace and harmony that has illuminated the region and the world since gaining independence in 1990.

Namibia and Cuba will explore new areas of economic cooperation during the three-day state visit of Cuba's President Miguel Diaz Canel-Bermudez.

President Hage Geingob has commended Cuba for assisting Namibia in her fight for liberation without expecting any reward.

Therefore, having the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudes, as the guest of honour at the Heroes' Day commemoration is befitting.

President Hage Geingob will be departing for Johannesburg, South Africa, this afternoon to participate in the BRICS-Africa Outreach and the BRICS Plus Dialogues.

President Hage Geingob turned 82 years old today, and what a ride it has been.

His journey as a statesman has been eventful, filled with significant experiences.
