South Africa transferred legislative power to the Namibian authority to conduct its external relations in 1990 when the country attained its independence. Since then the country has been projecting the economic content of its Foreign Policy. Poverty eradication, human resource development, empowerment of the poor, the needy and the weak form the top priorities for Namibia's foreign policy. The foreign policy of a country draws its authority, legitimacy and mandate from many internal priorities. Its general orientation is shaped by its history, culture and social values of its people (Ministry of Foreign Affairs 2004: ii)
