Swakopmund - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt thanked Namibia on Wednesday for the privacy and peace they enjoyed for the birth of their daughter.
"We have been able to have a very special, peaceful time for our family here, exploring your country and more importantly helping with the delivery of our daughter, Shiloh," Pitt told a news conference for local journalists at a hotel in this coastal town.
"So, for that, we are eternally grateful."
It was the couple's first public appearance since Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt was born May 27 at a private clinic in Walvis Bay.
Delivered by Caesarean section, the baby weighed 3.15kg and was said to be in good health.
Pitt and Jolie retreated to Namibia with their two adopted children for government-assisted privacy in the weeks leading up to the birth. They plan to leave in the next few days.
