The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Peya Mushelenga, had substantive and productive talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Dr. Mushelenga's visit was his first visit to Russia as Minister of International Relations and Cooperation.

A statement issued by the Russian Embassy says the two ministers agreed that bilateral ties, rooted in the uncompromising struggle of the Namibian people for self-determination, are expanding and based on friendship and mutual affection between the peoples.

The Russian Embassy in Namibia has condemned the brutal terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow. 

In a statement, the Embassy expressed that "this heinous crime against peaceful citizens" has no justification.

The foreign mission has, in turn, called for severe punishment for the organisers and perpetrators of this crime.

The Embassy also extended its condolences to the families and relatives of those killed and wounded.

President Nangolo Mbumba has condemned the terror attacks on innocent civilians in the Moscow Region as senseless. 

Dr. Mbumba said he is saddened by the callous terrorist attack, which led to the deaths of over 115 people and injured many others. 

The killing of civilians, the president says, demonstrates complete disregard for human life. 

In a letter to President Vladimir Putin, Dr. Mbumba, on behalf of the people and the government of Namibia, extended sympathies to the families and the people of Russia.

Namibia's Embassy in the Kingdom of Belgium and the Netherlands, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the Mission to the European Union will hold a memorial service for the late President Dr. Hage Geingob in the Netherlands.

Dr. Geingob died on the 4th of February and was buried on the 25th of February.

Before undertaking any other official responsibilities, Dr. Mbumba met with four traditional authorities in the region to introduce himself to them as leaders of the community and custodians of the land and seek their wisdom.

This represents an ongoing commitment to invest in resources that will enable the organisation to deliver exceptional care to patients and healthcare partners in both the public and private industries. 

The fleet of cars will reduce waiting times and increase efficiency by ensuring that samples are picked up from collection sites and transported safely to the nearest laboratory. 

Flags can now fly at full mast as the official mourning period for the late President Dr. Hage Geingob has ended. 

The public holidays declared on the 25th and 26th of February were only for the mourning period and, as such, will not be observed going forward.

Speaking at a Cabinet briefing, the Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Emma Theofelus, spoke on stipulations regarding the hanging of the official portrait of President Nangolo Mbumba, while the public may continue to hang the portrait of the late President Geingob.

When a public figure, let alone a president, dies, documentaries that narrate their life story come in abundance.

On Saturday, the nation went to sleep, oblivious to what they would awaken to, as the cock would crow at dawn. 

That was the heart-shattering news, delivered by then-Vice President Nangolo Mbumba.
