On June 19, Ambassador Zhao Weiping was invited to attend and speak at the seminar “China's Governance Reforms: Lesson for Namibia” hosted by the Namibia Institute of Public Administration and Management. More than 200 people, including Secretary to Cabinet Hon. Dr. George Simataa, Executive Directors of relevant ministries and leaders from local governments attended the event. Amb. Li Jie, Vice President of the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs, and Ms. Liu Haifang, Director of the Center for African Studies of Peking University, who were visiting Namibia, delivered keynote speeches respectively.

Ambassador Zhao said in his remarks that China's experience shows that if a country wants to develop itself, it must adopt a development path suited to its own national conditions. Fortunately for the Chinese nation, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, we have found such a development path, that is, the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Also fortunately, in the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we have always kept pace with the times, and advanced theoretical innovation to ensure that the causes of the Party and the country will be pushed forward consistently under the guidance of scientific theories.
