Omwa Uhala Po Nawa? Good Afternoon!

It is a great privilege to address this august House - a temple of democracy. I thank you for giving me this honour.

I stand before you as a representative of the mother of democracy. And, I bring with me warm greetings from 1.4 billion people of India.

Please allow me to begin with congratulating each and every one of you. People have given you the mandate to serve this great nation. In politics, as you know, that is both an honour, and a great responsibility. I wish you success in fullfiling the aspirations of your people.

Friends,

A few months ago, you celebrated a historic moment. Namibia elected its first woman President. We understand and share your pride and joy, because in India we also proudly say - Madam President.
