The Chinese Embassy in Namibia celebrated the Chinese New Year last night, earlier than the official date of January 28, as it falls on a working day.

The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) bid farewell to the 15th Chinese medical team and welcomed the 16th medical team.

The Chinese medical team supports Namibia's healthcare system.

The 3rd Junior National Council session commenced today.

Officially opening the session, Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah urged the young MPs to engage passionately in their discussions, emphasising that their contributions would shape the future of the country.

China's Ambassador to Namibia, Zhao Weiping, commended the Namibian government for its continued efforts to improve the living standards of its vulnerable population. 

The Ambassador of China paid a courtesy visit to President Nangolo Mbumba, updating the head of state on developments between the two countries. 

President Mbumba assured the ambassador of Namibia's continued commitment to solid relations with China.

Agriculture and education are among the sectors to be given priority in regional development.

This was highlighted at a meeting between the Chinese Ambassador to Namibia, Zhao Weiping, and regional leadership.

The past few days have seen controversial reports on Namibia allegedly trying to push for VISA exemption for Chinese passport holders.

The Chinese Ambassador to Namibia, Zhao Weiping, clears up some of these misunderstandings.

China's Ambassador to Namibia, Zhao Weiping, urged Namibians not to believe the notion that China is pursuing neo-colonialism on the continent, as most African countries have a mutually beneficial relationship with the Asian powerhouse.

China's new Ambassador to Namibia, Zhao Weiping, says China will continue supporting Namibia's social and economic development through the expansion of bilateral cooperation in extensive areas.

He remarked on this during his introductory ceremony in Windhoek.
