Namibia will hold its 2nd National Land Conference next month, President Hage Geingob said on Wednesday.

The president said in a statement at the general debate of the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York that in the country's pursuit of creating favorable conditions to fight poverty and maintain peace and stability, Namibia will hold its 2nd National Land Conference during the first week of next month.

"In preparation for the conference, the government conducted consultations in all our 14 regions, to ensure an inclusive process. We believe in consultation. If diplomacy fails, people go to war," he said.

Geingob told delegates that is the reason his government is pursuing an inclusive consultative process, with the full knowledge that "inclusivity spells harmony and exclusivity spells conflict."

He said Namibia has made a concerted effort to include as many stakeholders as possible and to ensure that everything will be done within the ambit of the country's laws.

"As a result, we call on our 10 development partners to support the outcome of this conference, so as to continue assisting us in the process of socio-economic transformation," he added.

The president also said that inequality remains a challenge, as reflected in the skewed ownership of land, where white Namibians own 70 percent of all agricultural land.

The first land conference was held in 1991, a year after Namibia attained independence.
