Accra, June 18, GNA \u2013 Namibia is looking to strengthen economic, cultural, and diplomatic relations with Ghana, using the maiden\u00a0\u201cNamibia Meets Ghana Cultural Night\u201d\u00a0in Accra.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hosted by the High Commission of Namibia in Ghana, the cultural night served as a platform to promote trade, tourism, investment, and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event brought together diplomats, government officials, traditional leaders, business executives, tourism stakeholders, creatives, and members of the Namibian community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Namibia\u2019s High Commissioner to Ghana, Madam\u00a0Ndiyakupi\u00a0Nghituwamata, said Namibia was keen to transform its presence in Ghana into practical partnerships that deliver meaningful benefits for citizens and businesses in both countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want Namibia to be known in Ghana as a serious African partner. We want our presence here to lead to meaningful conversations, stronger networks, and outcomes that benefit both countries. Our engagement should be visible, practical, and consistent,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the High Commissioner, there are significant opportunities for collaboration in tourism, agribusiness, infrastructure, education, and the creative industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She noted that the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) presents new opportunities for increased economic cooperation between the two nations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNamibia and Ghana enjoy warm and cordial relations founded on our shared history of solidarity, mutual respect, and common aspirations for peace and development,\u201d Madam\u00a0Nghituwamata\u00a0stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cultural night featured traditional music and dance performances, fashion showcases, tourism exhibitions, and a culinary experience celebrating both Namibian and Ghanaian cuisines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Addressing guests at the event,\u00a0Mr\u00a0Yussif Issaka Jajah, Deputy Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, described culture and tourism as powerful instruments for fostering economic cooperation and strengthening people-to-people relations across Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relationship between Ghana and Namibia is rooted in shared solidarity and the Pan-African ideals championed by Ghana\u2019s first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah. It is a relationship anchored on mutual respect,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that cultural exchanges create opportunities for investment and tourism growth while advancing the broader vision of African integration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Madam\u00a0Nghituwamata\u00a0further\u00a0emphasised\u00a0that Namibia remains open to collaboration with government institutions, private sector actors, cultural\u00a0organisations, and investors seeking long-term partnerships.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She encouraged participants to use the occasion to exchange ideas, build networks, and explore areas of mutual interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Namibia Meets Ghana Cultural Night is expected to become an annual platform for promoting bilateral cooperation and advancing the shared vision of a prosperous, integrated, and self-reliant Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
