The High Commission - Our Story

The Namibian High Commission in London has been a cornerstone of Namibia's diplomatic presence in the United Kingdom since its establishment in 1990, following Namibia's independence from South Africa. Initially focused on forging strong bilateral relations and securing international support for the fledgling nation, the High Commission has evolved to address a broad spectrum of issues, including trade, investment, and tourism promotion. Over the years, it has played a pivotal role in fostering cultural exchanges and educational partnerships between Namibia and the UK. Today, the High Commission continues to be a vital link, facilitating diplomatic dialogue, supporting Namibian nationals in the UK, and promoting Namibia’s rich heritage and economic potential on the global stage.
