Windhoek: President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has described her recent visits to Ghana and Tanzania as successful, saying the engagements strengthened Namibia's international relations and advanced efforts to address historical injustices against Africa. The Head of State returned to Namibia on Monday after attending the High-Level Consultative Conference on the Next Steps for the Landmark United Nations General Assembly Resolution on the Transatlantic Slave Trade in Accra, Ghana, last week. She also undertook her first state visit as president to Tanzania, where she held bilateral talks with President Samia Suluhu Hassan in Dar es Salaam on Saturday. Nandi-Ndaitwah was welcomed at Hosea Kutako International Airport by Vice President Lucia Witbooi, Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare, Cabinet ministers and service chiefs. According to Namibia Press Agency, speaking to the media on her arrival, Nandi-Ndaitwah said the conference in Ghana marked an important milestone in acknowledging the injustices of the transatlanti c slave trade. 'I attended the Slave Trade Conference, and it went very well because after the United Nations General Assembly passed the resolution on implementing measures related to the slave trade, it was very impactful,' she said. According to the president, Resolution A/RES/80/250 represents a significant step towards international recognition of the suffering caused by slavery. 'For the first time, the international community has agreed and accepted that injustice was done during the slave trade in Africa and other parts of the world, and it is now time to heal the wounds,' she said. The conference, attended by African heads of state and government, focused on one of the darkest chapters in African history and explored pathways towards healing and restorative justice for affected communities. Reflecting on her state visit to Tanzania, Nandi-Ndaitwah said discussions with her counterpart reaffirmed the longstanding ties between Namibia and Tanzania. She noted that while political relations between the two countries remain strong, greater efforts are required to deepen economic cooperation. During the visit, Namibia and Tanzania signed agreements on trade cooperation, defence cooperation and support for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). 'We signed a few agreements. One is on trade cooperation, one is on defence cooperation, and the other is on small and medium enterprises. Tanzania is very good on that,' she said.
