Namibia and Iran have identified the potential export of Namibian beef to Iran, as well as technical cooperation in the establishment of power plants, as additional areas for bilateral collaboration.

President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has no doubt that newly accredited Heads of Mission to Namibia will continue to build on the efforts of their predecessors.

President Nandi-Ndaitwah on Wednesday received letters of credence from five new envoys at State House.

The UN Security Council (UNSC) has rejected a resolution put forward by Russia and China seeking to delay the reimposition of sanctions on Iran for 6 months.

The proposed resolution comes amid ongoing disputes between global powers and the UN over Iran's nuclear programme.

Iran is looking at expanding its bilateral relations with Namibia across various sectors.

The country wants to enter Namibia's oil market and says it can help the country attain self-sufficiency.

Namibians who possess diplomatic, official, or service passports will no longer require visas to travel to Iran.
