Brazil recently commemorated its 202 years of independence at the ambassador's residence in Klein Windhoek.
They also celebrated 30 years of cooperation with Namibia in the navy field.
Naval ties between the two countries are rooted in the Agreement for Naval Cooperation, signed on the 4th of March 1994 after Namibia regained ownership of Walvis Bay.
The naval partnership, which serves as a model for other African countries, is one of the biggest and strongest on the continent.
During this independence celebration, Brazil also unveiled two standard mail stamps and a postcard rate stamp to honour the bilateral relations between the two countries.
Ambassador of Brazil to Namibia, Vivian San Martin, said that under the bilateral relationship, Brazilian patrol vessels regularly visit Namibia as part of the Naval training exercises along the coast of Africa.
"We commemorate 30 years of Naval cooperation. The longest and most important military cooperation of Brazil with an African country. This partnership, which broadened in arms and started in 1994, the same year of the return of Walvis Bay to Namibia, allowed for 1,179 Namibian military personnel, comprising 90% of the navy staff, to receive training in Brazilian naval institutions within 10 years. Since then, every year, new courses and training have been offered to the Namibian navy in areas as diverse as cartography, multi-consciousness, and military strategy. Furthermore, since 2009, more than 1,400 Namibian marines have been trained by their Brazilian counterparts in courses found in the country, leading to the creation of the Namibian Marine Corps in 2016."
Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Jenelly Matundu, reflected on the lasting bond that has contributed to regional and global stability.
She said that the historical and contemporary collaboration from diplomatic relations and naval cooperation is crucial for engagements in trade, investment, agriculture, and food security.
She also expressed gratitude on behalf of the country for Brazil to continue supporting the strengthening of Namibia's food system and boost resilience against challenges posed by climate change.
"We have noted in recent years an increase in the exchange of official visits between our two countries and an expansion of bilateral cooperation in areas such as agriculture, trade and investment, cultural diplomacy, and military cooperation. As we celebrate the milestone of more than two centuries of Brazil's independence, we cannot do that without mentioning one of the greatest success stories that emerged out of our bilateral partnerships, the Brazil-Namibia naval cooperation, which our two countries entered into on the 4th of March 1994. This year, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of this cooperation, which has grown to become arguably one of Brazil's biggest naval cooperations on the African continent."
