The visiting King of the Belgians, Philippe, paid homage to the late President Hage Geingob as he visited the Mausoleum at the Heroes Acre.

King Philippe and the late Dr. Geingob met in Brussels in February 2022, where they held bilateral talks on the margins of the AU-EU summit on a number of issues of mutual concern.

The belge royal also laid a wreath at the Heroes Acre in recognition of Namibia's other heroes and heroines.

The King of the Belgians is on a three-day state visit to Namibia, aimed at strengthening cooperation.
