Malaysia hopes to strengthen Namibia relationship

Elizabeth Kheibes
Last week, Malaysia celebrated its 60th Malaysia Day shortly after marking its 60th independence day.

The acting high commissioner of Malaysia, Dato Dr Mohamad Rameez Yahaya, highlighted the need for further bilateral partnership between Namibia and Malaysia.

During his speech, Yahaya mentioned that the existing Namibia-Malaysia partnerships encompass education, with currently 700 Namibians enrolled at the Limkokwing University Namibia campus.

“By offering 11 courses at certificate and diploma levels in areas such as information technology, software engineering, business management, advertising, interior design, architectural technology, and tourism management, we sincerely hope that the talented youths of Namibia will continue to prosper in these areas, developing their skills for a more brilliant future.”

The acting high commissioner said his office hopes to ensure that the presence of Malaysia is felt through their enhancement of trade and investment in Namibia.

He added: “More can be done to increase the trade and investment volumes between Malaysia and Namibia.”

Grateful

The international relations ministry’s deputy director for Asia, Esther Mwoombola, said Namibia takes pride in the existing bilateral ties between the two countries.

“Let me express our gratitude to the government of Malaysia for continuously offering numerous training opportunities, including capacity-building support programmes, to Namibians.”

She said this year, several Namibians have undertaken training programmes in Malaysia.

Mwoombola said Namibians return home inspired and impart that passion and expertise to other Namibians.
