WINDHOEK, July 19 (Xinhua) -- Namibian President Hage Geingob said Wednesday that Namibia seeks partners and advice on how to use the abundant clean energy.
Geingob said this when he met with former Ghanaian president John Mahama at State House in Windhoek.
"It is a crisis in this part of the world. It is the driest area. So we are really having a problem but we would like to tackle it," Geingob said.
He added that Namibia has all clean energy resources, including uranium.
"So we seek people to join us and advise us," he said.
Mahama is in Namibia on behalf of the African Development Bank that has identified the country as one that has the potential to generate enough electricity for domestic use and export.
Now a power provision advocate for the African Development Bank, Mahama said was chosen because of its geographical position.
His visit, Mahama said, comes after the African Development Bank has set aside renewable and clean energy targets for Africa.
"It is believed that Namibia is strategic in terms of stabilizing and increasing power supply in the whole of the southern African region," Mahama told the media after a closed door meeting.
