Since the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Namibia in 1990, the two nations have steadily deepened their cooperation across various fields. From trade to people-to-people exchanges, the partnership has flourished, marking significant milestones along the way.
In 2023, bilateral trade between China and Namibia reached an impressive $1.31 billion, representing a substantial increase of 16.5 percent year on year. This growth underscores the strengthening economic ties and mutual commitment to sustainable development.
Continuing the tradition of fostering strong relations with African nations, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is set to visit Namibia from January 5 to 11. His itinerary includes stops in the Republic of the Congo, Chad, and Nigeria as well. Wang’s visit marks the 35th consecutive year that a Chinese foreign minister’s first overseas trip of the year is to Africa, highlighting the importance China places on its relationship with the continent.
The visit aims to further enhance cooperation and explore new avenues for collaboration between China and African countries. With a focus on sustainable development and mutual growth, both China and Namibia are poised to benefit from strengthened diplomatic and economic ties.
As the two countries look toward the future, their ongoing partnership serves as a testament to the positive impacts of international cooperation and their shared vision of prosperity.
