Botswana’s president, Mokgweetsi Masisi, yesterday paid a courtesy call on Namibia’s President, Hage Geingob, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States of America.

According to the Presidency’s Facebook Page, Masisi said the meeting provided an opportunity to continue strengthening the diplomatic ties between Botswana and Namibia.

The presidents discussed progress on the two nations’ historical travel agreement for citizens from both nations to travel between the two countries using only their identity
cards.

“We share more than a border. Our bilateral relations, people-to-people and business exchanges, have gained momentum following our discussion to allow travel with national IDs,” Masisi said.

He further labelled the engagement as valuable and constructive, saying it reaffirmed the two countries’ commitment to collaboration. -Nampa
