Namibia and South Africa are members of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), which plays a pivotal role in fostering regional economic integration and industrial development. Namibia is expected to host the forthcoming SACU Summit on 27 June 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2012, Namibia and South Africa elevated their bilateral cooperation mechanism by transforming the Heads of State Economic Forum into a Bi-National Commission (BNC),\u201d Dr. Hengari said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that since its establishment, the BNC has served as a critical platform for high-level dialogue, coordination of economic and foreign policy positions, and the implementation of joint programmes across a broad range of sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSouth Africa and Namibia have ongoing agreements in more than 150 areas. The working visit of President Nandi-Ndaitwah is aimed at further consolidating these longstanding relations and setting a renewed tone for enhanced collaboration to give effect to the 2024 SWAPO Party Election Manifesto and its Implementation Plan,\u201d Dr. Hengari said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staff Reporter THE President of the Republic of Namibia, Her Excellency Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, will undertake a one-day working visit to the Republic of South Africa on Friday, 20 June 2025.
