The visit will be fundamental to continue enhancing bilateral relations in political and economic matters for the development of our peoples, the senior diplomat wrote on his X account, formerly Twitter. In December last year, both nations held the first meeting of the Venezuela-Namibia Consultation Mechanism, with the presence of the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation of the African State, Netumbo Nandi Ndaitwah.

The Bolivarian Republic and Namibia signed a Memorandum of Understanding in November 2006 in Windhoek, its capital, for the establishment of a Consultation Mechanism between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of both countries.

Both nations established diplomatic relations on May 22, 1990 and were re-launched with the arrival to power of Commander Hugo Chávez (1954-2013) in 1999.
