Home Letters Letter of congratulations from President Barack Obama to President Hage Geingob

Dear Mr President,

I would like to extend my congratulations to you on your election and on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Namibia’s independence. I also congratulate the people of Namibia who, on November 28, peacefully exercised their most fundamental democratic right in accordance with their proud tradition of democratic governance.

The United States and Namibia enjoy a strong partnership based on shared respect for democratic principles, human rights, and economic opportunity. As we continue to build on the important relationship between our two countries through collaboration in areas of shared interest, including health, education, trade and investment, and security, I look forward to working with you in your new role.

Sincerely,
Barack Obama
