Namibia joined the rest of the Commonwealth family in celebrating Commonwealth Day.

The event took place in front of the steps of the Parliament Gardens.

The day commemorates the commonwealth of nations, a diverse assembly of 56 nations worldwide bound by common heritage, customs, and principles. 

This occasion highlights the dedication of commonwealth members to principles such as democracy, fairness, and the collective endeavour towards universal prosperity.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Commonwealth Charter, which was signed by the late Queen Elizabeth in 2013. 

The Charter expresses the commitment of member states to the development of free and democratic societies and the promotion of peace and prosperity to improve the lives of all the people of the Commonwealth.

The Charter also acknowledges the role of civil society in supporting the goals and values of the Commonwealth.
