New Minister of International Relations and Trade, Selma Ashipala-Musavyi, has hailed the contributions of former Minister Peya Mushelenga as having advanced Namibia's foreign policy.

Ambassador Ashipala-Musavyi and the staff of the Ministry bid farewell to Dr. Mushelenga during a ceremony in Windhoek.

The spouses of National Council members underwent a week-long training in Otjiwarongo focused on protocol, etiquette, and diplomacy.

This training aimed to provide them with a better understanding of the professional responsibilities of their spouses, who also serve as regional councillors.
