The governments of Namibia and Botswana will jointly ensure that robust information technology systems and infrastructure are put in place to improve border management and allow the two countries' national systems to function seamlessly with one another.

This follows the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement, which paves the way for the use of national ID cards in travel between citizens of the two countries, on Friday.

Presidents Hage Geingob and Mokgweetsi Masisi hailed the agreement as a game changer in their bilateral relations.
