Namibian High Commissioner to India Pius Dunaiski said the trade volumes between India and his country are “worryingly” low.

Dunaiski, who is attending the three day Partnership Summit in Bangalore, India, told Nampa on Wednesday here that he is not happy with the trade levels between the two countries.

These volumes amount annually to over N$100 million in favour of India.

“We are not very happy with our trade levels as it is not commensurate with our warm political relationship between the two countries. The trade volumes are worryingly low,” he said.

India exports vehicles, pharmaceuticals, electronic products and steel to Namibia, while raw materials are exported to India from Namibia.

Dunaiski said the relationship between the two countries is deeply-rooted in the common struggle for Namibia’s independence and social justice. The Indian people had helped Namibia in the struggle for freedom in the dark days of the liberation struggle, he added.
