Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah flew to Tanzania for two days of official meetings. Foreign Minister Mohamed Kombo welcomed her at Julius Nyerere International Airport when she arrived. President Samia Hassan later hosted the Namibian leader at State House for private talks. The women discussed ways to make their countries work better together. Both presidents want stronger business and cultural connections between their nations.
Hassan told reporters about her long friendship with Nandi-Ndaitwah, which dates back to 1995. The leaders first met in Beijing during a women's rights conference decades ago. They crossed paths again as tourism ministers and later as vice presidents of their countries. Both women now lead their ruling political parties and serve as heads of state. Their shared experiences created a strong bond between the two leaders.
Trade between Tanzania and Namibia reached 20 billion Tanzanian shillings last year, which equals about 132 million Namibian dollars and shows growth from previous years. Hassan wants businesses from both countries to find new opportunities together. She mentioned livestock farming and fishing as areas where companies could work as partners. Tourism also offers chances for people from both nations to make money.
Nandi-Ndaitwah plans to visit the University of Dar es Salaam during her trip. She will speak to students about women breaking barriers in leadership roles. The speech reflects Tanzania's role in helping African countries fight for independence. Her visit marks the first time she has traveled to Tanzania as president.
