WINDHOEK (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Jun, 2021 ) :-- Namibia on Tuesday launched the first ever space, science and technology policy which aims to guide the use of space resources and contribute towards the socio-economic growth and development of the country.
Speaking at the launch of the policy, Minister of Higher education, Training and Innovation Itah Kandjii-Murangi said the country seeks to use the policy as a tool in strengthening capacity of both experts and institutions in space as well as to explore global partnerships to attract projects and promote innovation.
