Presentation of Credentials to the Portuguese Republic 🇳🇦 🇵🇹

On 24 August 2026, during a ceremony at Palácio de Belém in Lisbon, H.E. Sabine Böhlke-Möller had the honour to present her credentials to H.E. António José Seguro, President of Portugal, accrediting her as non-resident Ambassador of Namibia to Portugal. The ceremony was also attended by H.E. Umej Bhatia, Ambassador of Singapore and H.E. Joël Rault, Ambassador of Mauritius, who likewise presented their credentials.

Namibia and Portugal enjoy growing bilateral relations, that were reinforced by the visit of Foreign Minister Dr. Paulo Rangel to Namibia in May 2026. Our economic ties continue to offer significant potential, including through Portuguese investment and the prospective cooperation between Namport and the Port of Sines in developing Atlantic logistics corridors, particularly for synthetic fuels and green hydrogen.

Namibia equally appreciates Portugal’s valuable support for Portuguese-language teaching in Namibian schools and institutions. Portugal’s success in linking its rich cultural heritage with design, innovation, tourism and entrepreneurship also provides valuable opportunities for cooperation as Namibia seeks to strengthen its creative industries and enhance the international visibility of locally produced cultural goods.

The Embassy looks forward to further deepening the warm and mutually beneficial relations between Namibia and Portugal.

8 Namibian students to pursue studies in France 🇳🇦🇫🇷

The Embassy of the Republic of Namibia in France warmly congratulates the eight Namibian students who will soon begin their studies at higher education institutions in France.

Among them are four recipients of the 2026 Upstream Petroleum Scholarship Programme, supported by the Petroleum Training and Education Fund (PETROFUND) and TotalEnergies EP Namibia, who will pursue Master’s degrees at IFP School (Institut Français du Pétrole) in Petroleum Engineering and Project Development and Subsurface Technologies for Sustainable Energies. The Embassy is further pleased to note that, upon successful completion of their MSc programmes, the students may be offered employment with TotalEnergies EP Namibia.

This opportunity contributes to Pillar 2 of Namibia’s Sixth National Development Plan (NDP6) on Human Development and Community Resilience, through the development of human capital and specialised skills. This is particularly relevant as Namibia continues to build the expertise required for its emerging energy sector, while also strengthening educational cooperation between Namibia and France.

The Embassy wishes all eight students every success in their studies and a rewarding experience in France.
