The meeting took place on the sidelines of the inauguration of Namibia’s fifth President, NETUMBO NANDI-NDAITWAH.

And President HICHILEMA said the two countries have agreed to work together to consolidate and raise the economic performance for the benefit of citizens.

The President also congratulated President CHAPO on his recent election victory and extended best wishes for peace and prosperity to the people of Mozambique.

He emphasized the vital role of regional stability in achieving sustainable development, stating that instability anywhere is a threat to progress everywhere.
