Shri Tomar remarked that there are several Indian companies that want to invest in Namibia in the area of minerals. However, two issues are hindering the process, namely difficulties in obtaining work permits and requirement of South African transit visa. The Minister also urged them to complete the ratification formalities to operationalised the agreement on Cooperation in peaceful purposes of nuclear energy. The Minister stated that under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi, India’s relations with foreign countries have been strengthened significantly, and a new era has been ushered in the Mining sector by new policies and decisions.
