Windhoek|Khomas Region
It is a great honour to join you this evening for the official opening of the Art for Cuba Exhibition. This remarkable initiative brings together the creativity, compassion, and solidarity of Namibian artists in support of the people of the Republic of Cuba.
“The cordial bond between Namibia and Cuba is not the product of recent diplomatic convenience. Neither is it dictated by changing geopolitical interests. It is a friendship written in the shared sacrifices of our peoples, long before the dawn of Namibia’s independence,” stated President H.E. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah during a gala dinner in solidarity with the people of Cuba, held at the Nampower Convention Centre in Windhoek.
During the First International Colloquium “Fidel: Legacy and Future”, held in Havana as part of the commemorations for the centenary of the birth of the Commander-in-Chief, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Namibia, Right Hon. Dr. Tjitunga Elijah Ngurare, delivered a moving speech in which he paid tribute to Fidel Castro and Cuba’s decisive role in the liberation of Southern Africa.
