President Nangolo Mbumba is hosting King Philippe of Belgium on a five-day visit, starting on Monday. The Namibia Press Agency reports that King Philippe will hold bilateral talks with President Mbumba at State House on Tuesday. He will also lay a wreath at Heroes’ Acre and visit Hope Initiative Southern Africa in Okuryangava, where he will participate in a financial literacy and economic empowerment session.

A media statement issued Sunday said King Philippe’s visit from 29 April to 03 May 2024 will present Namibia and Belgium with an excellent opportunity to deepen the strong bonds of friendship and growing bilateral relations that the two countries currently enjoy.

Moreover, Belgium is ranked as Namibia’s fifth top 10 exporter partner in copper, diamonds, precious metals, fruits, and nuts – valued at more than N$ 5 billion between 2022 and 2023.  Imports to Namibia from Belgium include pharmaceutical products, mineral fuels, and oil products of more than N$ 3 billion.
