class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSwitzerland also contributed a medical unit to the United Nations Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG), leading to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 435 on Namibia and, eventually, Namibia\u2019s independence. Today, that history provides a strong foundation for further cooperation in trade and investment, tourism, education, research and innovation. Namibia and Switzerland have strengthened their economic and people-to-people ties through existing frameworks and improved connectivity,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The President also explained that Namibia\u2019s membership of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) provides an important economic link with Switzerland through the SACU\u2013European Free Trade Association (EFTA) framework, which offers a foundation for expanding trade and economic cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis relationship has been further enhanced by the commencement of the Zurich\u2013Windhoek air service, which began in June 2026, providing greater convenience for travellers, supporting tourism and business exchanges, and creating new opportunities to strengthen people-to-people and commercial ties between our two countries,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Nandi-Ndaitwah urged Nghipondoka-Robiati to build on the longstanding friendship between the two countries by identifying practical opportunities that can contribute to Namibia\u2019s economic development and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYour responsibility is to strengthen the longstanding friendship and cooperation between Namibia and Switzerland and to advance our political, economic, commercial and developmental interests. You must identify opportunities that contribute meaningfully to the development of our country and translate the relationship into tangible cooperation in trade, investment, tourism, technology, knowledge transfer and development,\u201d President Nandi-Ndaitwah said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She directed Nghipondoka-Robiati to ensure that diplomatic engagement aligns with Namibia\u2019s development agenda, as articulated in the Sixth National Development Plan (NDP6), with its overarching focus on fostering economic growth, inclusiveness and resilience for sustainable development. She highlighted wealth creation, improved equality and employment creation as key objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also noted that, as Permanent Representative in Geneva, Nghipondoka-Robiati\u2019s mandate is multilateral and carries a distinct responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNamibia\u2019s commitment to multilateralism is rooted in our own history. Our independence was achieved through international solidarity and the collective efforts of the United Nations and the international community. We therefore understand that a rules-based multilateral system remains essential to a just, peaceful and cooperative international order. You must therefore uphold and strengthen Namibia\u2019s commitment to multilateralism.
