Namibian President Pohamba to meet Merkel in landmark visit
Windhoek - Namibian President Hifikepunye Pohamba travels to former colonial ruler Germany on Sunday where new Chancellor Angela Merkel will receive him as the first visiting head of state since she took office. Pohamba meanwhile is visiting the former colonial power for the first time since March when he became Namibia's second president since independence in 1990.
He will stay in Berlin for two-and-a-half days to hold talks with members of the Bundestag lower house of parliament, the mayor of Berlin and meet with the top brass of large companies such as Siemens. Pohamba will be accompanied by seven cabinet ministers and some 40 Namibian businessmen to discuss, among other things, land reform and assistance for infrastructure projects, said Ute Koenig, the number two in the German embassy in Windhoek.
