Technology Aid

China handed over a funded ground station to Namibia on February 12, located at Windhoek’s Telecom Earth Station, enabling the processing of remote-sensing data from satellites including the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS-4). China’s ambassador to Namibia, Zhao Weiping, described it as Beijing’s first high-technology development assistance project in the African nation. The station will be fully owned and operated by Namibia, with local technicians already trained by Chinese experts.
