Tanzania, Namibia launch a new era of economic cooperation
Dar es Salaam
. Tanzania and Namibia have agreed to elevate their long-standing bilateral relationship by pursuing a new phase of economic cooperation centred on trade, investment and strategic sector partnerships.
The agreement was reached during an official visit to Tanzania by Namibia’s President, Dr Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who held talks with President Samia Suluhu Hassan at State House in Dar es Salaam on Friday.

Dar es Salaam.Tanzania and Namibia have pledged to transform their long-standing liberation struggle ties into a robust economic partnership, with President Samia Suluhu Hassan calling on African nations to embrace unity and cooperation as the continent seeks solutions to its development challenges.

The two leaders agreed that while Tanzania and Namibia share a rich history forged during southern Africa's liberation struggles, the time has come to deepen economic cooperation and create tangible benefits for citizens in both countries.
Speaking after the talks at State House in Dar es Salaam, President Hassan said Africa possesses immense potential to overcome its challenges if countries work together with the same determination that characterised the fight against colonialism and apartheid.

Namibia is repositioning its foreign policy and trade strategy to survive a tougher, more competitive world where economic strength will define its place on the global stage.
This the summation of International Relations and Trade Minister Selma Ashipala-Musavyi message when she delivered the ministry’s budget this week.

“In this shifting geopolitical landscape, global competition is no longer confined to oil but extends to critical minerals as well as key technological inputs,” she said.
One of the most striking elements of the speech was the minister’s warning about the emergence of what she called “electro state nations” – countries gaining power through control of digital infrastructure and green technologies.
“We are also witnessing the emergence of what may be termed ‘electro state’ nations, whose i…
