Namibia and Angola want to turn more than 60 bilateral agreements into tangible economic and social benefits for their populations. Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah said this on Monday in Luanda, at the first session of the Bi-National Commission for Cooperation, alongside Angolan President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço, according to Observer24.

Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah said relations between the two countries should not be assessed by the number of agreements signed, but by their impact on citizens’ daily lives. She called on ministers from both states to implement the commitments, according to Observer24.
