Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Namibia on Wednesday. This is the last stop of his five-nation tour. It is also his first visit to Namibia. He is visiting at the invitation of President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah.
According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), this is the third-ever visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Namibia. Modi earlier visited Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, and Brazil.

Talks and Ceremonial Visits Planned
PM Modi will hold bilateral talks with President Nandi-Ndaitwah. The leaders will discuss trade, energy, defence, and mineral cooperation. Modi will also visit Heroes Acre. There, he will pay tribute to Dr Sam Nujoma, the first President of Namibia. He is expected to speak at the Namibian Parliament. His address will focus on India-Namibia friendship and shared democratic values.
Strong India-Namibia Bond
The MEA said this visit shows the deep and wide ties between the two nations. “The visit of the prime minister is a reiteration of India’s multi-faceted and deep-rooted historical ties with Namibia,” the statement said.
India has supported Namibia since its fight for independence. Today, they continue to build strong ties in politics, trade, and culture.
