A Namibian delegation comprising farmers, engineers, environmental specialists, students and media practitioners recently toured Russia's Dalur uranium mine in the Kurgan region.

Namibia places the highest strategic value on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

Namibia is seeking closer collaboration with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO), highlighting its position as one of the world’s top three producers of uranium.

The Minister of International Relations and Trade says Namibia is placing particular focus on exploring cooperation in nuclear energy with its bilateral partners.

Rossing Uranium has awarded full master's degree scholarships to three Namibians to study nuclear energy in China.

Earlier this year, President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah called on the nation to develop skills in preparation for a local nuclear energy industry.

Swakop Uranium says it stands ready to support Namibia should the government go ahead and establish a nuclear power plant locally. 

The company's management, led by Chief Executive Officer Luo Wei, paid a courtesy visit on President Nandi-Ndaitwah at State House.
