Namibia is open to learning from Qatar's experience in the development of the oil and gas sectors.

Today, President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah held talks with Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Qatari Minister of State for Energy Affairs, at State House.

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.

President Nangolo Mbumba says the noble gesture of humanitarian assistance from Qatar is testimony to the strong bonds of friendship and growing relations between the two countries.

In response to the state of emergency declared due to drought by President Nangolo Mbumba, the government of Qatar has donated a substantial amount of supplies. The aid, valued at N$1.3 billion, aims to assist the communities affected by the severe drought conditions.
