Introduction to Omuhonga Namibie et HumanLab Saint-Pierre 🇳🇦 🇫🇷

During a virtual meeting coordinated by the Embassy of Namibia to France, experts from Namibia’s Ministry of Health and Social Services (MHSS), together with H.E. Cécile Vigneau, Ambassador of France to Namibia, were introduced to HumanLab Saint-Pierre’s inspiring work in developing affordable, customised assistive devices using 3D printing, scanning and computer-aided design (CAD).

What makes this initiative particularly remarkable is its collaborative and open-source approach. Healthcare professionals and volunteer engineers work together to develop practical solutions, while sharing digital designs online so that families, hospitals and laboratories worldwide can reproduce and adapt them to local needs.

Omuhonga Namibie is well known in Namibia as they have made since 2020, an invaluable contribution to education in Namibia’s Kunene Region through the construction of classrooms and the equipping of metalworking and woodworking workshops, empowering young Namibians with practical skills for the future.

The Embassy commends both organisations for their dedication to innovation, inclusion and capacity-building and looks forward to exploring opportunities for further cooperation to benefit Namibian communities.

Merci infiniment, Omuhonga Namibie et HumanLab Saint-Pierre, pour votre engagement et votre précieuse contribution !

Presentation of Credentials to the Portuguese Republic 🇳🇦 🇵🇹

On 24 August 2026, during a ceremony at Palácio de Belém in Lisbon, H.E. Sabine Böhlke-Möller had the honour to present her credentials to H.E. António José Seguro, President of Portugal, accrediting her as non-resident Ambassador of Namibia to Portugal. The ceremony was also attended by H.E. Umej Bhatia, Ambassador of Singapore and H.E. Joël Rault, Ambassador of Mauritius, who likewise presented their credentials.

Namibia and Portugal enjoy growing bilateral relations, that were reinforced by the visit of Foreign Minister Dr. Paulo Rangel to Namibia in May 2026. Our economic ties continue to offer significant potential, including through Portuguese investment and the prospective cooperation between Namport and the Port of Sines in developing Atlantic logistics corridors, particularly for synthetic fuels and green hydrogen.

Namibia equally appreciates Portugal’s valuable support for Portuguese-language teaching in Namibian schools and institutions. Portugal’s success in linking its rich cultural heritage with design, innovation, tourism and entrepreneurship also provides valuable opportunities for cooperation as Namibia seeks to strengthen its creative industries and enhance the international visibility of locally produced cultural goods.

The Embassy looks forward to further deepening the warm and mutually beneficial relations between Namibia and Portugal.
