Africa-Press – Namibia. President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has expressed her condolences to the people of Zambia and the family of former Zambian President Edgar Chagwa Lungu, following the former president’s passing.
“On behalf of the people and the Government of the Republic of Namibia, I wish to convey heartfelt condolences to President Hakainde Hichilema, former First Lady Madam Esther Lungu, the children, the entire bereaved family, and the fraternal people of Zambia. During this period of profound sorrow for the Zambian nation, I wish to assure the sister Republic of Zambia and its people that the Namibian people stand with you in grief,” the president said.
She highlighted that the Namibian people have benefitted immensely from the generosity of the Zambian Government and its people, who hosted SWAPO and its leadership at great cost to their own internal security.
“At independence in 1990, Namibia relied on steadfast Zambian expertise in developing administrative frameworks for government, and President Lungu continued with the tradition of closer cooperation and friendship between our two nations. As Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, I recall meeting President Lungu on several occasions during his tenure in office, and I felt his resolute commitment to stronger bilateral cooperation between Namibia and Zambia,” President Nandi-Ndaitwah recalled.
