President Hage Geingob is set to participate in the inaugural European Union Global Gateway Forum (GGF) and the EU-Namibia Green Hydrogen and Critical Raw Materials Business Forum in Brussels, Belgium.
As part of the Inaugural Global Gateway Forum (GGF), President Geingob will take part in the first-of-its-kind EU-Namibia Green Hydrogen and Critical Raw Materials Business Forum, during which the President will deliver the keynote address.
President Geingob’s participation in the Global Gateway Forum (GGF) is at the invitation of the President of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen.
The Forum will focus on the European Union’s Global Gateway strategy and its role in promoting global investment in infrastructure, centered around its priority themes: digital, energy, and climate; transport; health and education; and research.
The European Union, through the Global Gateway, which was launched in December 2021, offers partner countries around the world the opportunity to develop smart, clean, and secure digital, energy, and transport infrastructure and strengthen health and education systems.
The EU accounts for 21.6% of Namibia’s exports and 13.6% of its imports.
