纳米比亚位于非洲西南部,旧称西南非洲,历史上从15世纪起,先后遭葡萄牙、荷兰、英国和德国殖民者入侵,19世纪末沦为德国殖民地,称德属西南非洲,后又被南非吞并。纳米比亚人民坚持长期斗争,终于在1968年6月12日由联合国大会作出决议,按当地人民的意愿将西南非洲改名为纳米比亚,1990年3月21日宣布独立,成立纳米比亚共和国。纳米比亚国土面积为82万平方公里,人口180多万(2002年),境内大部分是由结晶岩构成的大平原,蕴藏着丰富的矿产资源,是非洲第四大矿产国,盛产金刚石、铀、铝、铅、锌等多种矿物,是非洲第一大铝生产国和第三大锌生产国,因此享有“战略金属储备库”的美称。采矿业是该国最大的产业部门年产值占国内生产总值的40%左右。

Historically, it has been invaded by Portuguese, Dutch, British and German colonists since the 15th century. It became a German colony in the late 19th century and was called Southwest Africa and later annexed by South Africa. The Namibian people, persisting in protracted struggle, finally made a resolution by the UN General Assembly on June 12, 1968, to rename Southwest Africa Namibia according to the wishes of the local people and announced the independence of the Republic of Namibia on March 21, 1990.
