The president of the Kenya-Namibia Chamber of Commerce has urged Namibian diplomats and business leaders attending the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi to pursue actionable investment deals and tangible business partnerships from engagements with Kenya and more than 30 African heads of state attending the summit.

President Hage Geingob says Namibia's principled stance of being a friend to all and an enemy to none should in no way be interpreted as an indication of the country assuming a docile role in the geopolitical arena.

Namibian diplomats have a responsibility to defend their country and citizens against attacks and further negotiate better agreements that will impact the quality of life.
