The late President Hage G. Geingob was an established politician of international stature.

This was evident during his memorial and funeral ceremony, where close to 20 heads of state and a large number of international delegations from across the globe attended. 

The late Geingob believed in international coordination and multilateralism, and he was hailed by the United Nations for that. 

Botswana's President Mokgweetsi Masisi has arrived in Windhoek.

Masisi is on a short visit to Namibia to meet with President Nangolo Mbumba, after which the two Presidents will visit former First Lady Monica Geingos, widow of the late Namibian President, Dr. Hage Geingob, at her residence.

President Masisi is the first foreign Head of State to arrive in Namibia, following the news of the passing of President Geingob.

This also translated into the elevation of bilateral relations between Namibia and Botswana.

Over the years, Africa has positioned itself to move away from aid and grant dependence and become a business hub and a significant player in the global economy.

However, the continent accounts for only about 2% of the global economy, and this is what the US-Africa Summit is seeking to address.

The US-Africa Summit officially opened in Tlokweng village, outside Gaborone, with more than 1,300 delegates from the public and private sectors from both the US and African countries.

Botswana's President, Mokgweetsi Masisi, made a brief one-day visit to Namibia just to touch base with President Hage Geingob on a number of bilateral issues between the two countries.

Apart from attending to serious matters affecting both Namibians and the Batswana in their official capacities, Presidents Geingob and Masisi enjoy a solid personal friendship characterised by respect and good neighbourliness.
