Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has called for deeper cooperation between Namibia and Angola in an address to Angola’s National Assembly in Luanda in October 2026. She described relations between the two countries as a legacy of solidarity forged during their struggles for independence.
Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah recalled that Angola, which became independent in 1975, had hosted Namibia’s SWAPO party and thousands of Namibians in exile. She stressed that the independence of one African country could not be complete while another remained oppressed. The president also praised Angola’s role in promoting peace and mediation in Africa, particularly during its chairmanship of the African Union in 2025, according to her address.
Her speech follows regional exchanges between Angola and its partners. The head of Angola’s airline TAAG took over as leader of the regional organisation of southern African airlines on 12 October (his appointment).
