WINDHOEK, 18 SEP (NAMPA) - President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah will depart for New York on Friday to participate in the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the Presidency has announced.
The UNGA80 High-Level Week will take place from 23 to 29 September 2025 under the theme “Better Together: 80 Years and More for Peace, Development, and Human Rights.”
Nandi-Ndaitwah will lead the Namibian delegation to the 80th UNGA High-Level Week, which takes place from 20 to 26 September 2025.
A statement issued by the Namibian Presidency said Nandi-Ndaitwah will deliver her maiden address before the General Assembly on Wednesday, 24 September 2025.
She will also participate in a series of high-level engagements, including those focusing on women’s empowerment, sustainable development, climate action, global economic reform, youth, peace and security, and nuclear disarmament.
On the margins of the 80th UNGA High-Level Session, President Nandi-Ndaitwah is expected to hold bilateral meetings with fellow Heads of State and Government. She will also attend cultural and business promotion events to showcase Namibia as a destination for trade, investment and tourism.
A key highlight will be the flagship “Experience Namibia in New York” showcase, hosted by the Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB), and a roundtable with global business leaders organised in partnership with the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU), the statement added.
“Furthermore, on 25 September 2025, President Nandi-Ndaitwah will undertake a working visit to Philadelphia to engage the business community and academia, and to further consolidate relations between Namibia and the tri-state area (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware). President Nandi-Ndaitwah will be accompanied by senior Government officials and is expected to return to Namibia on 26 September 2025,” said the statement.
