Chakwera urges Malawians living in Mozambique invest home

By Staff Reporter

Malawians who are currently living in Mozambique have been urged to make use of the bilateral relations between the two countries and meaningfully invest back home.

Speaking during an interface with the Association of Malawians living in Mozambique (ASSOMAMU) on Friday, President Dr Lazarus Chakwera emphasised that Malawi’s ties with Mozambique signify a trusted relationship which provides a conducive environment for business amongst citizens from both countries.

He said if Malawians residing in the neighbouring country take good advantage of the already existing symbiotic relations, then a Malawi that is industrialised with a middle-class economy is possible.

”The environment is now conducive because our bilateral relations are not just on paper. They mean more economic diplomacy that is mutual and beneficial. That is why the two countries are collaborating at a level such as security and trade,” he explained.

Malawi has already signed with Mozambique a 72 kilometer railway deal from Nacala to Bangula in order to reduce transport costs of goods.

ASSOMAMU Chairperson, Chalo Ng’ambi, said the restoration of the cordial relationship between the two countries, more so with the frequent presidential visits, speaks volumes.

Speaking to reporters before departure Chilima said the trip is important to the country’s development as delegates at the meeting will discuss ways of fostering development in least developed countries.



Commented on reports that he will be taking with him around 40 people to the US, Chilima said only 15 people on the list of his delegation. He said it was unfortunate that people fabricated stories on the issue and advised Malawians to desist from such.

He also dismissed allegations that he is being wasteful pointing out that as Vice President he has made a decision not to go for his annual leave “conscious of the cost implications.”
