The following press release was issued by the Office of the Fourth Republican President Rupiah Banda:
His Excellency Rupiah Bwezani Banda, Fourth President of the Republic of Zambia, has been invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of Namibia’s President-elect Dr Hage Geingob.
Namibia’s outgoing President, His Excellency Hifikepunye Pohamba, has said in his invitation letter that the inauguration ceremony to be held on 21st March, 2015, will also mark the 25th anniversary of that country’s independence.
“I have the honour and pleasure to invite Your Excellency to grace the inauguration ceremony and the silver jubilee with your presence,” wrote President Pohamba.
He stressed that President Banda’s presence at Dr Geingob’s inauguration ceremony will symbolise the excellent bilateral relations and strong bonds of solidarity and friendship that exist between Zambia and Namibia.
As Zambia’s Ambassador to the United Nations in the 1970s, President Banda once served as President of the United Nations Council for Namibia, a body that was responsible for superintending the country’s affairs before the attainment of political independence in 1990.
