and, indeed, a beacon of leadership on the African continent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the third President of independent Namibia, the legacy of the late President is indelibly etched in the history of his nation&#8217;s liberation struggle and the ensuing journey of freedom, democracy, and prosperity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His remarkable life journey epitomized true resilience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the ideals of justice and equality \u2013 while his leadership was characterized by inclusivity, pragmatism, and a deep belief in the power of dialogue and cooperation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Chair of the Constituent Assembly, he played a pivotal role in drafting Namibia&#8217;s Constitution \u2013 thus laying the foundation for a democratic and pluralistic society.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his tenure as Namibia\u2019s first Prime Minister, and later as President, the late President relentlessly championed the cause of multilateralism here at the United Nations and other fora, in recognition of the importance of international cooperation and understanding in addressing global challenges \u2013 a contribution to which we will be eternally grateful.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His impassioned advocacy for sustainable development and renewable energy earned him admiration and respect on the world stage \u2013 a vision that extended well beyond his country\u2019s borders, as evidenced by Namibia\u2019s green hydrogen sector.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He will always be remembered for representing Namibia in these very halls, including as a petitioner to the Fourth Committee during the dark days of colonialism \u2013 articulating the aspirations of the Namibian people for a free and democratic Namibia, and later, addressing this Assembly as his country\u2019s President on numerous occasions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As we bid this somber farewell to President Hage Geingob, we must nonetheless take solace in the enduring legacy of his principles and values.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In honouring his memory, let us recommit ourselves to building a future worthy of his discipline and dedication to rebuilding modern Namibia and indeed to multilateralism.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>May his great soul rest in eternal peace.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Thank you.<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-275571 alignnone size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.10.00-PM-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.10.00-PM-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.10.00-PM-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.10.00-PM-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.10.00-PM-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.10.00-PM-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.10.00-PM-1080x810.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-275572 alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.27.02-PM-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.27.02-PM-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.27.02-PM-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.27.02-PM-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.27.02-PM-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.27.02-PM-1080x1440.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2024\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-02-07-at-4.27.02-PM-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remarks by the President of the General Assembly,\u00a0 Mr. Dennis Francis,\u00a0 at the plenary meeting to pay Tribute to the memory of H.E.
