President Nangolo Mbumba and his Botswana counterpart, Mokgweetsi Masisi, have directed their officials responsible for international relations to propose a date for the second Bi-National Commission meeting.

President Mbumba paid a courtesy call on his Botswana counterpart, Mokgweetsi Masisi, ahead of a memorial service held in honour of the late President Dr. Hage Geingob on Wednesday.

Namibia and Botswana held their inaugural Bi-National Commission meeting in 2022, during which it was agreed that the meeting would be held every two years.

The long-standing dispute over the Orange River boundary between Namibia and South Africa will feature during deliberations at the 3rd session of the Namibia-South Africa Bi-National Commission (BNC), underway in Windhoek.

The Orange River forms the international border between South Africa and Namibia.
