The Namibia International Energy Conference kicked off today in the capital.

The event, attended by industry pioneers, policy makers, investors and various stakeholders, serves as a platform for discussions and strategic conversations across the energy value sector.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, in her speech delivered by the Prime Minister, Elijah Ngurare, said the energy sector plays a critical part not only as a catalyst for economic growth but also as a pillar for the broader vision to position the country as a sustainable energy hub.

Nandi-Ndaitwah further stated that Namibia's ambition is matched by clear direction and practical action, guided by integrity, accountability, inclusivity and national pride.

The Namibia International Energy Conference is set to conclude on Friday.
