Dear Readers,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to our last newsletter of the 2022/2023 Financial Year. It has been an exciting and productive time for the Office of the President. As we present the Presidency’s 20th Volume Newsletter to you, we hope you enjoy the reading. The 20th Volume covers various notable local, regional and international engagements and activities by the Presidency.

As a norm, President Hage G. Geingob has declared 2023 “A Year of Revival” in Namibia, calling for economic, political and security renaissance, regeneration, revitalisation and restoration. The Head of State also opened the 7th Session of the 7th Parliament on 14 February 2023, emphasising the need for members of Parliament to enact laws that are effective at buttressing the safety and security of citizens, protecting the most vulnerable members of society, enabling the growth of industry, and promoting investment and economic trade.

This volume further offers interesting highlights on the Dakar 2 International Summit as attended by H.E. Dr. Nangolo Mbumba, Vice President of the Republic of Namibia and Dr. Jill Biden on her first official visit to Namibia as hosted by the First Lady of Namibia (FLON), Mrs. Monica Geingos.

The Green Hydrogen project has also achieved significant milestones through the successful implementation of ongoing, long-term activities.

Let us, therefore, join hands in the spirit of Harambee as we start the 2023/2024 Financial Year and work hard on our targeted plans towards prosperity.

I trust you will enjoy the reading until next time!
