The Senate President, Hon. François Kalinda, along with Vice Presidents Hon. Espérance Nyirasafari and Hon. Alvera Mukabaramba, warmly received a delegation from the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure, and Housing of the National Council of Namibia during a courtesy call at the Rwandan Parliament.

He emphasized the importance of such interactions in enhancing the legislative processes and governance standards across the African continent. "The collaboration between our two nations is a testament to the strength and unity of our regional community. We are pleased to share Rwanda’s experiences and learn from Namibia's perspectives on infrastructural development and housing policies," said Hon. Kalinda. The Vice Presidents, Hon. Nyirasafari and Hon. Mukabaramba, echoed similar sentiments, underscoring the significance of building strong inter-parliamentary relationships to promote sustainable development goals and improve the quality of life for citizens in both countries. The Namibian delegation will engage in a series of meetings and site visits to various infrastructural and housing projects across Rwanda, gaining insights into the country’s strategies for urban development, affordable housing initiatives, and sustainable transport systems. Chairperson Hon. Sipapela highlighted the purpose of their visit, stating, "Rwanda's progress in infrastructure and housing is commendable. We are here to learn and draw inspiration from your achievements, which will help us refine our strategies back home in Namibia." This visit symbolizes the shared commitment of both countries to regional integration and sustainable development, as well as the importance of parliamentary diplomacy in achieving mutual growth and prosperity. The Namibian delegation's itinerary includes visits to key infrastructural sites such as the Kigali Convention Centre, ongoing housing projects, and Rwanda's pioneering public transportation systems. Their observations and interactions during this visit are expected to contribute to policy formulation and implementation back in Namibia.
