The President of the National Assembly of the People's Power of Cuba, Esteban Lazo Hernández, says the death of Namibia's Founding President, Sam Nujoma, is a loss to both countries.

The former chief pilot of Ethiopian Airlines, who flew the flight that brought Founding President Sam Nujoma back to Namibia in 1989, commended President Nangolo Mbumba for a befitting send-off accorded to the late leader.

President Nangolo Mbumba has expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support from Namibians to accord a final send-off to Founding President Sam Nujoma, who was buried on Saturday.

President Nangolo Mbumba says that in honouring Namibia's constitutional legacy and entrenching its future, Namibians draw inspiration from Founding President Sam Nujoma, former President Hifikepunye Pohamba, and the late President Hage Geingob.

President Sam Nujoma heroically marshalled the Namibian people during the darkest hours of our liberation struggle until the attainment of freedom and independence from Apartheid South Africa on the 21st of March 1990.

President Nangolo Mbumba has underscored that the future will not and cannot rest solely on well-crafted documents.

He says the true measure of success therefore lies in the effective implementation of the Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, expressed satisfaction with Namibia’s role in co-steering with Germany in the negotiations for the Summit of the Future.

President Nangolo Mbumba has urged children's parliamentarians to deliberate on crucial issues and to advocate outcomes that will positively impact the rights of children.

A renewed push for the implementation of key bilateral projects is one of the areas that the new Heads of Mission have outlined as priorities.

President Nangolo Mbumba today received letters of credence from four new Heads of Mission accredited to Namibia.

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa says the late President Hage Geingob's ethical leadership is a worthy example to emulate.
