Bilateral relations between Namibia and Türkiye have been growing from strength to strength since the country opened an embassy in Windhoek in 2012.

This was said by the Deputy-Minister of Education, Arts and Culture, Faustina Caley, at Türkiye's 99th independence anniversary in Windhoek.

Relations between the two countries date back to the early 1960s when Namibia's struggle for independence began.

Türkiye was one of the founding members of the UN Council for Namibia.
