Uranium Exporter Namibia Bids to Join Nuclear Suppliers Group

Namibia has approved the country’s bid to join the Nuclear Suppliers Group, a global body that develops rules on the export of nuclear technology and materials to prevent its use in weapons.

The Ministry of International Relations and Trade will lead the application process and set up an inter-ministerial committee to implement NSG guidelines, according to a cabinet statement. A delegation will lobby the International Atomic Energy Agency and the NSG chairperson on the sidelines of the IAEA General Conference in Vienna, it said.
