WELL-KNOWN business personalities in the North, David Sheehama of Kambwa Trading and Spar’s Jupy van der Merwe, were part of the Namibian delegation that attended the 40th Indonesian International Expo recently.
The delegation also included regional governors Hofni Iipinge and Dorothy Kabula of Oshana and Zambezi, respectively.
Namibia joined eight other participating African countries, namely Algeria, Angola, Egypt, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tanzania.



Indonesian exhibitors have become a permanent feature at a number of business expositions in Namibia, particularly the Ongwediva Annual Trade Fair.
The Indonesian International Trade Expo serves as a platform to showcase Indonesian products and services to global markets. It is where delegates discover business opportunities, connect with potential partners, and explore Indonesia’s industries.
Governor Iipinge was quoted as saying that Namibia and Indonesia share common values in promoting peace, cooperation, and sustainable development.
He further said that the relationship between the two nations is growing, with new opportunities emerging in renewable energy, agriculture, trade, and education.
Namibia presents a safe, reliable, and rewarding destination for long-term investment, and Indonesian investors are welcome to explore partnerships that advance mutual growth and prosperity.
