MOSCOW, May 20 (Itar-Tass) - Russia and Namibia will sign a set of

"During the visit to Moscow by the head of the Namibian state it is
planned to sign a number of inter-governmental and interstate documents,
including inter-governmental agreements on cooperation in the field of
fisheries and mutual protection of rights to intellectual property used
and obtained in the course of bilateral military-technical cooperation, a
memorandum of intent between the Government of the Russian Federation and
the Government of Namibia regarding the development of cooperation in the
field of uranium prospecting and production in Namibia, and other
documents," the presidential press service said.
The talks with the Namibian leader - both at the Kremlin with the
president of Russia and on Thursday evening with Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin - will focus mainly on the strengthening of economic ties.
"In the course of the upcoming talks the heads of state will focus on
the possibility of expanding Russia's investment participation in key
projects, including in prospecting for and producing mineral resources,
hydrocarbons, in developing electric power generation, in the fields of
fisheries, transport, tourism, and humanitarian interaction," the press
