Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah conducts a seven-day state visit to China. Meeting with President Xi Jinping in Beijing, the Namibian leader delivered a sharp, unambiguous message: the decades-old pattern of foreign powers extracting raw materials and refining them abroad must end. Windhoek is demanding domestic partnerships that translate diplomatic ties into local jobs, skill transfers, and tangible economic growth. While recent data confirm that China remains Namibia's top trade-surplus partner—driven largely by its status as Africa's uranium powerhouse—the Southern African nation is refusing to settle for traditional diplomatic pleasantries. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
