In a historic moment during his state visit to Namibia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was conferred with the country’s highest civilian award — Order of the Most Ancient Welwitschia Mirabilis. The prestigious honor was presented by Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah in recognition of India’s longstanding and warm ties with Namibia.
Accepting the accolade with humility, PM Modi dedicated the award to the 1.4 billion citizens of India and reaffirmed the deep-rooted diplomatic friendship between the two nations. This recognition marks a significant diplomatic milestone and inspires younger generations in both countries to nurture and elevate Indo-Namibian collaboration.
“The bond between our peoples is historic, and this award reflects the spirit of our enduring friendship,” said PM Modi, expressing gratitude toward President Nandi-Ndaitwah and the Namibian populace.
As economic, cultural, and strategic cooperation between India and Namibia continues to flourish, this honor stands as a beacon for future engagements and collaborative aspirations across sectors.
