Jamaicans travelling to Namibia will not be required to obtain a visa.

The governments of Jamaica and Namibia this morning agreed to a visa waiver programme.

It’s the first of several agreements between both countries, as Prime Minister Andrew Holness began a full day of discussions with the Namibian President.

Previously, Jamaica waived visa requirements for Namibians entering the country as an expression of solidarity and support during Namibia’s liberation struggle. Namibia today, reciprocated this action.

Speaking at a joint press conference with the President of Namibia, Prime Minister Holness said both countries have now cemented a deeper bond.

Prime Minister Holness declared that his official visit to Namibia is of strategic importance.

In addition, Prime Minister Holness stated there will be greater opportunities for the people of both countries.

In the meantime, Prime Minister Holness and the Namibian president have recommitted to ensuring the African Caribbean and Pacific Group remains.

The Prime Minister is slated for a series of government and cultural activities in Namibia for the remainder of his working visit.
