President Joseph Kabila of the DRC said upon his arrival in Windhoek on Tuesday that he wanted to “thank the Namibian people for the support they have rendered the Congolese,” during the past three years of civil war in the DRC, Reuters reported. Kabila is in Namibia for a two-day state visit expected to focus on the peace process and improving business relations between the two countries. Namibian officials said Kabila was expected to brief Namibian President Sam Nujoma on the DRC peace process. Kabila was also scheduled to meet with Namibian corporate leaders and various government ministers in an effort to expand economic ties between the two countries. Kabila was in Gaborone, Botswana on Monday for the opening of preparatory talks leading to the inter-Congolese dialogue.
