Following the signing ceremony, Linus Chata said: “This is a historic moment for us. Today we legally consolidate our cooperation based on friendship between Russia and Namibia. It is only natural that we deepen our ties and increase the flow of information to bridge our peoples beyond government channels. I am confident that this cooperation will be fruitful and mutually beneficial, as we already share a strong foundation of communication.”

Vasily Pushkov added: "Our agencies have a long history of cooperation: NAMPA correspondents have participated in our SputnikPro training programs. We are confident that our partners will provide us with real-time insights from Namibia and help us reach more audiences in Africa. Together, we can ensure that our stories resonate where they are needed most."
