In Windhoek (Namibia), 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 discussed the development of bilateral trade and economic relations with the President of the Republic of Namibia Netumbo Nandi-Ndayitwa.
“We have worked well as a team within the intergovernmental commission. And we are also committed to continuing this work. We expect our friends to engage in the process of creating added value in Namibia, which will contribute to the development of the economy and the reduction of poverty in the country. The figures for trade and economic turnover, of course, do not correspond to the level of our political cooperation. We must achieve the equivalent of economic cooperation with political cooperation. We have a long history, and the ties between our countries are only getting stronger. I want to assure you that this direction will continue,” said Netumbo Nandi-Ndaytwa.
Yuri Trutnev congratulated Netumbo Nandi-Ndaytwa on his election as President of the Republic of Namibia, as well as as Chairman of the South West Africa People’s Organization party.
“We have worked together for many years in the Intergovernmental Russian-Namibian Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation, created to strengthen the friendship between our peoples. I am sincerely grateful for our joint work. This work has produced results. The volume of bilateral trade and economic relations has doubled. But we have something to do next. Considering your attitude towards the Russian Federation, I very much hope that the friendship between the countries will develop. I want to assure you that I will do everything possible for this,” said Yuri Trutnev.
The prospects for implementing joint projects in the fields of industry, subsoil use and geological exploration, energy, agriculture, science and education were discussed.
“No matter what large Russian company Namibia works with, first and foremost it will work with the Government of the Russian Federation. This is a different level of responsibility. It is important for the Government of Russia to improve our relations and benefit both countries. Together with the state corporation Rosatom, one of the leading energy companies in the world, the Government of the Russian Federation is ready to continue negotiations on expanding the possibilities of using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. We are ready to consider other proposals for cooperation in the field of mining and processing of minerals, science and education. As a result of our work, the quota for the education of Namibian students in Russia has increased. The world is changing, and changing quickly. We are ready for these changes and are grateful to Namibia for maintaining a friendly attitude towards our country,” noted Yuri Trutnev.
The holding of the 11th meeting of the Intergovernmental Russian-Namibian Commission, which is planned for Windhoek, was also discussed.
