The political relation between the two countries is characterized by being strong and durable. This relation was crowned by the participation of former President Mubarak in the celebrations of independence to Namibia in 1990 as president of Egypt and Chairman of the Organization of African Unity.

Former President Mubarak was keen then to emphasize the continuation of Egypt's commitment to offer support politically and economically to Namibia after the independence. Namibian President Pohamba Hevikubnii headed his country's delegation participating in the African Summit in Sharm El-Sheikh in July 2008.
