President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has tasked Namibia's new High Commissioner to India, Alex Tukuhupwele, to ensure the effective implementation of bilateral agreements.

Namibia could capitalize on its existing bilateral agreements with Angola to acquire the skills and lessons it needs to fast-track the development of its oil industry.

Mines and Energy Minister Tom Alweendo says such a move would boost the economies of both nations.
