During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit, High Commissioner Rahul Shrivastava announced Namibia's keen interest in Indian defense equipment, prompting India's financial assistance.
Simultaneously, Namibia committed to joining the International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA), an initiative spearheaded by India to preserve big cats worldwide. Confirming this, Shrivastava emphasized the alliance's role in bolstering conservation efforts on a global scale.
Further, India promises to aid Namibia in combatting malaria by supplying medicines and diagnostic kits, all while celebrating the deeper ties symbolized by PM Modi's reception of Namibia's highest civilian accolade.
