The purpose of his visit was to mourn and pay tribute to the late former Namibian President, Hage Geingob.
Hage Geingob was widely regarded as a respected and influential leader, not only in Namibia but also on the international stage. Born on August 3, 1941, in Otjiwarongo, South-West Africa (now Namibia), Geingob dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice, equality, and democracy.

He played a crucial role in the struggle for independence and was appointed as SWAPO’s representative to the United Nations in 1962.
After Namibia gained independence from South Africa in 1990, Geingob served as the country’s first Prime Minister. He later became the President of Namibia in 2015, winning the election with an overwhelming majority.
Throughout his presidency, Geingob focused on addressing the socio-economic challenges faced by Namibia. He implemented policies to reduce poverty, promote education, and improve healthcare access for all citizens. Geingob’s vision for Namibia was rooted in inclusivity and empowering the most vulnerable members of society.
Internationally, Geingob was a respected figure known for his diplomatic skills and commitment to regional integration. He played a crucial role in mediating conflicts in Africa and was recognized for his efforts in promoting peace and stability in the region.
The passing of Hage Geingob is a tremendous loss not only for Namibia but also for the international community. His legacy of fighting for justice, democracy, and equality will continue to inspire generations to come.
As of now, the cause of Geingob’s death remains unknown. The news of his passing has come as a shock to many, and tributes from world leaders and citizens alike have poured in, expressing their grief and admiration for his remarkable contributions to Namibia and Africa as a whole.
In his visit to the Namibian Embassy, He Baoxiang conveyed the heartfelt condolences of the Chinese government and people. He emphasized the strong ties between China and Namibia and expressed China’s commitment to supporting Namibia during this difficult time.
