PRESIDENT Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah representing Namibia at the NASREC Expo Centre in Johannesburg for the 2025 G20 Leaders Summit \u2013 the first time the gathering of the world\u2019s major economies is being hosted on African soil. The summit is expected to tackle some of the most pressing global challenges, including rising living costs, climate change, debt pressures on developing nations, rapid digital transformation, and global health risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Namibia, the president\u2019s participation provides a crucial platform to ensure the country\u2019s concerns and priorities are reflected in debates affecting its economic and social future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the session on Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth, President Nandi-Ndaitwah delivered a strong intervention that echoed the shared sentiment among many leaders calling for a more balanced and equitable global economic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stressed that Africa\u2019s growing influence in the world economy must be recognised, adding that genuine global recovery requires solidarity and long-term sustainability. The president highlighted Namibia\u2019s ongoing efforts to strengthen trade-driven growth through economic diversification, value addition and food security initiatives such as the Zero Hunger Road Map, underscoring the need to ensure no one is left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touching on responsible financing, Nandi-Ndaitwah pointed to Namibia\u2019s successful redemption of its USD 750 million Eurobond as an example of sound fiscal management. However, she said that escalating debt-servicing obligations continue to strain development spending. She urged G20 members to improve global debt treatment frameworks and expand concessional financing for countries demonstrating transparent governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president concluded by emphasising the need to reduce inequality, citing Namibia\u2019s broadened social protection programmes for the elderly, children, women and rural populations. Her remarks reinforced calls for a more inclusive and representative global system that supports sustainable development for all nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
