Botswana, Namibia hold bi-national commission talks

President Hage Geingob will this week undertake a working visit to Gaborone to attend the inaugural session of the Namibia-Botswana Bi-National Commission (BNC).

The BNC is a high-level bilateral platform that replaced the Joint Commission on Cooperation and the Joint Permanent Commission on Security and Defence between the two countries through an agreement signed during the working visit by Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi to Windhoek in January this year.

International relations ministry executive director Penda Naanda said the BNC will be preceded by the senior officials’ meeting and the ministerial meeting of the Bi-National Commission from today and Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

He said Geingob, who is expected back in the country on Friday, will be accompanied by international relations minister Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah and home affairs, immigration, safety and security minister Albert Kawana.

Other members of the delegation include agriculture, water, and land reform minister Calle Schlettwein, health minister Kalumbi Shangula, industrialisation minister Lucia Iipumbu, attorney general Festus Mbandeka and deputy minister of defence Hilma Nicanor.
