Yuri Trutnev arrived in Namibia on a working visit.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation – Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District, Co-Chairman of the Intergovernmental Russian-Namibian Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation Yuri Trutnev arrived in Namibia on a working visit. During the working visit, meetings with the leadership of Namibia are planned to discuss the development of Russian-Namibian economic cooperation.
Immediately upon arrival, Yuri Trutnev visited the memorial composition “Heroes’ Acre” in Windhoek and laid a wreath at the Eternal Flame – a symbol of memory of the patriots who died in the struggle for self-determination, freedom and independence of a united Namibia. The Deputy Prime Minister also laid flowers at the graves of the first President of Namibia Sam Nujoma and the third President of Namibia Hage Gottfried Geingob.
Answering journalists’ questions, Yuri Trutnev said that he met the first President of Namibia, Sam Nujoma, more than 20 years ago. “The first President of Namibia was the man who led the liberation struggle in Namibia, who gave freedom to the people of Namibia. Mr. Sam Nujoma remembered well the role of the Soviet Union in the liberation struggle of Namibia, and maintained constant friendly ties with our country. Since at the time when the first President of Namibia passed away, I was unable to travel to Namibia, I took the first opportunity to pay my respects to this great man,” he noted.
During the trip, Yuri Trutnev plans to meet with Minister of International Relations and Trade Selma Ashipala-Musavi.
