highly of Nujoma’s consistent commitment to Namibia-China friendship as a senior statesman in Africa.

Recalling his friendly interactio­ns with Chinese leaders, Nujoma said the brotherly friendship has remained unshakable and become even firmer as time goes by.

During talks with Katjavivi and Mensah-Williams, Li briefed them on the people’s congress system in China.

Li said the system combines the upholding of the CPC’s leadership, ensuring that the people are the master of the country and ruling the country by law. It fits well China’s national conditions, he said.

Li said cooperatio­n between the legislatur­es of the two countries should be first and foremost focused on implementi­ng the important consensus reached by the heads of state, creating favorable legal environmen­ts for practical cooperatio­n including trade and investment, increasing experience sharing in governance and advancing subnationa­l cooperatio­n and people-topeople exchanges, especially those among youth and women, to lay a solid social foundation for bilateral friendship.

Katjavivi and Mensah-Williams expressed gratitude for China’s support for Namibia’s independen­ce. They told Li that Namibia is willing to further enhance friendly interactio­ns with the NPC at various levels in line with the memorandum of understand­ing signed between the two countries’ legislatur­es to help advance bilateral relations.

In Windhoek, Li visited patients who have undergone cataract surgery in Brightness Journey campaigns, as well as Chinese and Namibian medical workers who are part of the campaign.

He said the removal of medical gauze from the patients’ eyes embodies the deeply rooted friendship between the two nations and epitomizes China’s medical assistance to Africa.

The top legislator encouraged the Chinese medical team to help the local people benefit substantia­lly from medical cooperatio­n between the two countries.

Li also witnessed the delivery of aid materials on wildlife protection to Namibia and visited the control and command center of Telecom Namibia.

Namibia was the last stop of Li’s three-nation trip to Africa, after visits to Ethiopia and Mozambique.
