🇳🇦 On March 21, #Namibia marks the 36th anniversary of its independence, achieved after decades of colonial rule and a prolonged liberation struggle.
European colonisation of what is now Namibia began in the mid-XIXth century. In 1878, the British took control of the area around Walvis Bay. In the 1890s, the rest of the country became a German protectorate known as German South West Africa, which lasted for about 30 years.
In 1904-1907, an uprising of the indigenous population against German colonial rule broke out. It was suppressed with extreme brutality by Berlin and the local administration, with little regard for human life: Europeans killed approximately 65'000 of the Herero population (up to 80%) and 10'000 of the Nama people (50%).
In 1960, Namibian patriotic forces set up the South West African People's Organisation that launched the struggle for the country’s independence, recognised as legitimate by the UN. In 1967, the UN Council for South-West Africa was established. The Soviet Union was among the first to support the Namibian people in their struggle for independence and self-determination, which was achieved in 1990.
Symbolically, diplomatic relations between our countries were also established on March 21, 1990.
🇷🇺🇳🇦 Moscow and Windhoek maintain a regular trust-based political dialogue at the highest and high levels. Over the past two years, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has held four bilateral meetings with Namibian counterparts, including recent talks in Moscow with the Minister of International Relations and Trade of the Republic of Namibia Selma Ashipala-Musavyi, who visited Russia on a working trip in January 2026.
💬 Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:
The friendly ties between Moscow and Windhoek are developing steadily and rest on the principles traditional for our relations – equality, solidarity, mutual respect and support. We highly value the fact that our Namibian friends remember well the assistance provided by the Soviet Union during the struggle against colonialism and in laying the foundations of statehood.
(from Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's statement and answers to media questionsat a joint press conference with Minister of International Relations and Trade of the Republic of Namibia Selma Ashipala-Musavyi following talks in Moscow on January 14, 2026)
Russia and Namibia share or have similar positions on most issues of the global and regional agenda.
Extensive experience has been accumulated in bilateral cooperation across trade, economic, scientific and educational, humanitarian and other areas.
🎓Many thousands of Namibians have received education in the Russian Federation or the Soviet Union. Russia also supports Namibia at international platforms, including through humanitarian assistance provided via the UN World Food Programme.
🤝 We extend our best wishes to our Namibian friends and colleagues on the occasion of their national holiday and the anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We reaffirm the unwavering commitment to consistently expanding bilateral ties.

🌎 In the Namib Desert, strange circular patches called “fairy circles” appear in the grass, forming patterns seen from the air. Scientists suspect termites or plant competition cause these barren rings, which can measure 2 to 15 meters wide and last for decades. ✨
