The sound bilateral ties between Namibia and Tanzania have entered the stage of economic diplomacy.

President Hage Geingob commended the outgoing High Commissioner, Dr. Modestus Kipilimba, for actively promoting cooperation in this regard.

Dr. Kipilimba is ending his tour of diplomatic duty in Namibia, and as a satisfied Head of Mission, he outlined achievements during the last three years.

He is the first resident diplomat after the Tanzanian government opened its diplomatic mission in 2021, after years of concurrently serving Namibia from South Africa.

President Hage Geingob urged the new Heads of Mission to promote bilateral ties premised on economic diplomacy to benefit their respective countries and Namibia.
