The Forum was co-organized by the Ministry of International Relations and Trade of Namibia, the Namibia Investment and Development Promotion Board (NIPDB), the Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI), the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation, and the “Roscongress” Foundation, with the support of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development.
The Russia-Namibia Business Forum served as a discussion platform aimed at developing and strengthening the trade and investment partnership between Russia and Namibia. Representatives of over twenty Russian companies attended the event, including representatives from “Rosatom”, VEB.RF, “Rostec”, “Nord Gold”, and “Uralkali”. Representatives of over seventy Namibian companies also participated.
Particular attention was paid to developing cooperation in education. Over 220 Namibians are studying at Russian universities. According to Yuri Trutnev, this will further facilitate the expansion of cooperation in this area and support the targeted training of Namibian personnel, primarily in in-demand engineering and technical fields.
