Port of Walvis Bay vital link in China’s “silk route” concept

Namibia’s Head-of-State, Dr. Hage Geingob, on Monday in his capacity as the Chairman of the SADC, addressed delegates at the Forum for China-Africa Cooperation (Focac) in Beijing. Dr. Geingob in particular welcomed an announcement by Chinese President Xi Jinping that SADC countries would be included in China’s Route and Belt Initiative (RBI), or in short a concept to establish a trade route on the ancient trade route between China and Europe. In this regard the port of Walvis Bay will become an important link between economies in the SADC and China.
