China has acknowledged the late President Hage Geingob's leadership in promoting the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between itself and Namibia. 

In 2018, China elevated bilateral relations with Namibia to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, the highest in foreign policy and anchored on the win-win principle.

Jiang Zoujun, the Special Envoy of President Xi Jinping, said China and Namibia will continue to pursue bilateral cooperation in various fields as they have over the years.
