Namibia will intensify its efforts to strengthen support for Cuba, particularly in the areas of health, education, and the economy in general.

This was revealed by Eunice Iipinge, the president of the Pan African Women Organisation (PAWO), in an interview with our sister programme, Good Morning Namibia.

Namibia was once again reminded to strengthen its commitment to the Cuban revolution at the 7th African Continental meeting held in South Africa last week.

The Deputy Minister of Defense and Veterans Affairs, Hilma Nicanor, has implored the Namibian Defense Force (NDF) to accelerate efforts that address gender parity within its leadership structure.

Even though there has been a significant improvement in the general promotion of all NDF members, women are still lagging behind, making it difficult for them to participate in decision-making processes.
