Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Munir Akram has expressed deep grief and sorrow on the passing of Namibia’s founding father and former President, Sam Nujoma.

In his condolence message, he said President Nujoma's courageous and critical role in securing self-determination and independence for the people of Namibia in the face of daunting odds will remain a shining light in the history of decolonization. The example he set continues to inspire all those still struggling for freedom and self-determination.
