President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah returned from her introductory visits to Botswana and Zambia on Friday evening.

The President's visits were aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between Namibia and the two neighboring countries.

The Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Derek Klazen, emphasised the critical role of the Benguela Current, describing it as a lifeline for the region.

US Ambassador to Namibia, Randy Berry, says President Joe Biden's visit to Angola is strategic for SADC, particularly its infrastructure development agenda.

Biden was on a three-day visit to Angola, where he toured the Lobito Corridor, a railway line that stretches from Zambia to the Port of Lobito.

Namibia and Botswana will begin with a trial of the operationalisation of the Mamuno and Trans Kalahari One Stop Border Post as of this Monday.
