Germany’s new Ambassador, Thomas Wimmer, said Namibia remains an important partner for Germany, with cooperation focused on areas including renewable energy, transport, education and job creation.  

Nigerian high commissioner, Esther Arewa, said a proposed cultural vocational centre will train locals to produce cultural products such as shoes and bags, while supporting the creative industry and tourism.   

Turkish Ambassador, Fikriye Güven, said the Turkey-Namibia Business Council will be used to boost trade and attract Turkish investment, alongside development projects aligned with Namibia’s priorities.
