Namibia and Angola are seeking to strengthen cooperation in trade, energy, transport, agriculture and other key development sectors.
This comes as the two countries convene their inaugural Bi-National Commission in Luanda.
The commission, held on Thursday, provides a platform for the neighbouring countries to deepen bilateral relations, expand economic cooperation and identify practical ways to advance shared development priorities.
In his opening remarks, Ministry of International Relations and Trade executive director Jerobeam Shaanika emphasised the importance of strengthening ties between the two countries through structured engagement and cooperation.
The talks are expected to provide an opportunity for both governments to assess existing cooperation, address challenges affecting bilateral relations and explore new areas of collaboration that could benefit their economies and citizens.
“With Namibia and Angola sharing a border and strategic regional interests, closer cooperation could help promote cross-border trade, improve connectivity and unlock opportunities for investment and economic growth,” he said.
He said the inaugural session marks an important step in institutionalising bilateral engagement, with both countries seeking to translate diplomatic relations into tangible development outcomes.
