Speaking this Wednesday, the Namibian official – who led her country's delegation on a visit to the Luanda-Bengo Special Economic Zone (ZEE) – explained that interest in the two aforementioned sectors was manifested after fundamental products were detected in Angola for consolidating the economy and industry, as well as ensuring the quality of life of the population of any country.
Cited by Jornal de Angola, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah said that she is "facing two extremely important sectors", stressing that Angola already has a tractor assembly plant and a hospital equipment unit.
On her visit to Angola, the Namibian official aims to find out which products can be exported to her country as well as which goods Namibia can export to Angola. It also intends to find out what kind of mutual investments can be made and to detect which products can help balance commercial relationships.
In addition, the official also expressed interest in collaboration between the managers of companies located in the ZEE and Namibians, with a view to simplifying the business relationship between both countries.
According to Jornal de Angola, the Namibian ruler was dazzled by what she saw, stressing that her country also approved the creation of Special Economic Zones.
"We must bet on the industrialization of the African continent, promoting the processing of raw materials locally, to create more jobs and avoid the exodus of youth", she considered.
She also left a word of encouragement for young people to bet on entrepreneurship with a view to generating wealth and jobs.
António Henriques da Silva, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sociedade de Gestão da ZEE, classified the visit of the Namibian official as an "important milestone in the relationship between the two countries".
