I will not announce it now, but you just wait.\u201d Beyond agriculture, the mining sector remains a cornerstone of China-Namibia economic collaboration. Two uranium mines, Husab and Ro\u0308ssing, are the major pillars of this relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese mines contribute around 7% of Namibia\u2019s national GDP and have created approximately 6 000 jobs for Namibians. In addition to economic output, the mines have made significant contributions to public infrastructure and community development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that Ro\u0308ssing Uranium recently funded the construction of a new police station in the Erongo region, a project valued at over N$20 million. Similarly, the Husab mine has been involved in a range of philanthropic efforts benefiting local communities.<\/p>\n<p>On her part, Nandi-Ndaitwah was equally impressed with the partnership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn our side, we are ready to strengthen the cooperation, which has always been a mutual benefit between the two countries,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Nandi-Ndaitwah said Namibia will continue to endeavour to make contributions to the international agenda and see how best the people of Namibia can benefit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Namibia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
