Namibia is actively seeking Chinese investment to establish processing and manufacturing plants, moving beyond the export of raw commodities. Minister of International Relations and Trade Selma Ashipala-Musavyi stated that Chinese companies should consider investing in clean energy technology, battery components, and logistical hubs. This initiative was discussed during President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah’s State Visit to China.

The country aims to become a regional center for green industrialization by adding value to its critical minerals, such as processing lithium into battery precursors and smelting copper. The expansion of the Walvis Bay port also provides logistical access to landlocked markets, including Botswana, reaching over 300 million consumers across the Southern African Development Community region.
