As the Honorary Consul of Namibia to Uganda I am honored to be taking part in the ongoing Honorary Consuls to the 9th Session of the Heads of Mission Conference in the beautiful nation of Namibia.
This conference has brought together a distinguished assembly, including Ambassadors, Heads of Mission, Honorary Consuls, and officials from the government of Namibia, all of whom play vital roles in promoting Namibia's interests on the global stage.
The theme of this week-long conference is "Pursuing Namibia's Economic Diplomacy for Development and Prosperity" which underscores the importance of economic diplomacy in our ever-changing world.
Our role as representatives of Namibia abroad is not limited to fostering bilateral relations and engaging in traditional diplomacy but also extends to promoting economic growth, attracting investments, and expanding trade opportunities for this great nation.
This event is taking place at a crucial juncture in global affairs where the world is becoming increasingly interconnected, yet it is marked by conflict, geopolitical tensions, and fierce competition.
As diplomats and representatives, we must navigate this intricate landscape and advocate for global institutional reform that benefits all citizens of the world.
Our mission is clear: we are called upon to provide guidance to the people of Namibia and negotiate agreements that enhance the quality of life for Namibians. We must inform potential investors about the potential of the Namibian economy and the resilience of her people.
The words of the Namibian President, His Excellency Dr. Hage G. Geingob, resonate deeply:
You must leave no stone unturned in search of new ways to grow trade, attract investment to Namibia, and find markets for products made locally. Some of our talented young people are doing their best to innovate in all sectors, including the creative industry.
Therefore as representatives of Namibia we must be invigorated, motivated, and confident in telling the world that Namibia is an agent of global unity, peace, and prosperity.
Together, we will strengthen Namibia's economic diplomacy, paving the way for greater development and prosperity for our beloved nation.
Warm regards,
Godfrey Kirumira.
Honorary Consul of Namibia to Uganda.
