Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on Monday received Namibia’s Deputy Prime Minister, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah as she began her four-day visit to the country.

Nandi-Ndaitwah delivered a message from Namibia’s President Hage Geingob to the Ugandan leader as she started her official tour.

President Museveni and his guest discussed ways of exploring and putting more energy in the bilateral and diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The Ugandan leader called for both countries to explore ways of boosting their relations. He said no country could become prosperous alone. Rather, every nation needed to cooperate with others in order to move forward.

On her part, the Namibian Deputy Prime Minister lauded Uganda’s relations with her country, and also urged for strengthening of the existing ties.

“Namibia and Uganda have a long history together. We are the same. Uganda is among the first countries to establish diplomatic relations and cooperation with Uganda,” she said.

Museveni and Nandi-Ndaitwah are expected to hold talks focusing on various issues, with deals set to be signed in the course of the four-day visit.
