Namibia, Mali to further deepen bilateral cooperation

Xinhua, August 13, 2016 Adjust font size:

Namibia will host the inaugural session of the Mali-Namibia Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation on Aug. 15-16 in the capital city, Windhoek.

The Joint Permanent Commission deliberations will include discussions on agriculture, mining, information and communication technology, fisheries, finance, education, culture and crafts.

The consultations are expected to put bilateral relations between Namibia and Mali on new footing and usher in a new era of bilateral cooperation in the spirit of South-South Cooperation.

The delegation from Mali will be led by the Prime Minister of Mali, Modibo Keita, and include several high ranking Ministers.

During his stay in Namibia, Prime Minister Keita will pay a courtesy call on Namibian President, Hage Geingob.

The Commission is hosted under the Cooperation Framework Agreement signed between Mali and Namibia. Both countries were inspired by the conviction of fostering deeper relations among African countries to help achieve the objective of the AU Agenda 2063.

Earlier in March, during a state visit in Namibia, the President of Mali, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita had the opportunity to visit the Chinese-owned Husab Mine as well as the construction project at the Walvis Bay Port, being built by the China Harbour Engineering Company. Endit
