Valuable lessons being learned from China's experience

Following our struggle for liberation from the yokes of apartheid, the Republic of Namibia under the leadership of the SWAPO Party attained independence on 21 March 1990, and established its diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.

Africa, and Namibia in particular, joins the world in celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the world's second-largest economy and a key member of the international community.

The PRC is a member of the United Nations Security Council and is a friend of Africa, and its development since the launch of reform and opening-up has benefited the peoples of developing countries through significant inclusive partnerships that promote trade and investment in infrastructure.
