The Namibian Defence Force (NDF) has participated in several international peacekeeping missions this year.

The Minister of Defence and Veteran Affairs, Frans Kapofi, spoke about these during a briefing at the Government Information Centre, where he presented the ministry's activities carried out this year.

As part of its international obligations, Namibia is currently participating in the UN Mission in South Sudan and Mozambique and has visited the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on a reconnaissance mission to observe the volatile situation there.

The Ministerial Committee of the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security was able to implement 86% of the decisions taken.

The Chairperson, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, disclosed this during the closing ceremony of the five-day meeting of the organ held in Windhoek.

The decisions are part of the Ministerial Committee Organ meeting held last year.
