President Hage Geingob has inaugurated the renovated building of Namibia’s diplomatic chancery in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.

The Chancery, located in the Bole suburb of Addis Ababa, used to host Swapo Party offices during Namibia’s struggle for independence.

However, after a number of years of occupation and consequent wear and tear, the building became inhabitable, and the Chancery found other premises to operate from until the government invested funds for renovation.

President Hage Geingob has urged the Pan African Youth Union to seek an audience with the African Union for its recognition.

The Union's delegation met the President to lobby for diplomatic and financial support from Namibia.
