President Daniel Chapo of Mozambique is set to travel to Namibia on Thursday, following an invitation from his Namibian counterpart, Nangolo Mbumba. He will attend the inauguration ceremony for Namibia’s newly elected President, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, scheduled for Friday.

The visit presents an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between Mozambique and Namibia. President Chapo is expected to engage with other Heads of State and Government present, focusing on topics of mutual interest to foster deeper bilateral relations and explore strategic partnerships.
