The Mayor of Lüderitz, Brigitte Fredericks, has called for a more inclusive Namibia, where persons with disabilities are empowered and fully integrated into society.

She made this appeal during the opening of the National Disability Week in Lüderitz.

Namibia represents a sign of hope for human security because of its values of peace and diversity.

These sentiments were shared by the Executive Director at the Japan International Cooperation Agency, Yoichi Mine, during a public lecture at the University of Namibia.
