WINDHOEK, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Namibian president on Friday called on African countries to collaborate on combating COVID-19.
Speaking in a virtual meeting from Namibia called by the African Union and involving several other African countries, President Hage Geingob said COVID-19 has become one of the biggest threats to humanity and needed to be tackled with collaboration from all world leaders.
"COVID-19 is a global pandemic and requires coordinated regional, Pan-African and global action. During this difficult period, Namibia recognizes how interdependent and how interconnected we are as neighbors," he said.
Geingob said cooperation and consultation is essential in finding lasting solutions against the pandemic.
Geingob added that Namibia will continue to keep ports and harbors open in order to facilitate the movement of goods to landlocked neighbors and beyond. Enditem
