President Nangolo Mbumba paid tribute to the late Founding President, Sam Nujoma, saying that he spared no effort to motivate Namibians from all walks of life to build a country that would stand tall among nations of the world.

The Ministers of Defence of SADC and EAC have been directed to meet within 30 days to deliberate on the establishment of a secretariat-level technical coordination mechanism.

This mechanism is expected to monitor the implementation of the joint summit decisions.

Leaders from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the East African Community (EAC) have agreed to restart direct talks with both government and non-government groups, including the M23 rebel group, to help resolve the conflict in eastern DRC. 

President Nangolo Mbumba has underscored the significance of documenting the lives of political leaders, describing their stories as integral to Namibia’s history.

Well-wishes continue to pour in for Founding President Sam Nujoma, with the latest from President Nangolo Mbumba, during the opening of the first Cabinet meeting for 2025 at the State House.

Plans are underway to establish a Dr. Hage G. Geingob Presidential Centre in honour of his legacy.

Geingob's widow and former First Lady, Monica Geingos, says the late Namibian leader was working on the process, including the centre's board members and its focus areas.

President Nangolo Mbumba is hopeful that the message of unity, inclusivity and shared prosperity as championed by the late President Hage Geingob will continue to resonate as Namibians put in the hard work to build a better Namibia.

As Namibia reflects on the death of the late President Hage Geingob on February 4, 2024, one cannot help but remember the extraordinary bond he shared with President Nangolo Mbumba and Speaker of the National Assembly Peter Katjavivi.

Somalia plans to draw inspiration from Namibia in reforming its civil service, while the Holy See urges nations to adopt a "diplomacy of hope" in international relations.

Strengthening partnerships in education, agriculture, ICT, and skills development is high on the agenda for the newly accredited Heads of Mission to Namibia.
