The event, scheduled for June 25, 2025, in Maputo, underscores the strong historical, cultural, and economic ties between the two nations.
VP Usi departs for Mozambique, questions arise about who will oversee national affairs in President Chakwera’s absence, particularly with his upcoming trip to Abuja for the AFREXIM bank meetings.
The government is yet to make an official announcement on this matter.
The visit highlights Malawi and Mozambique’s commitment to regional cooperation through SADC and their shared interests in cross-border trade and development.
With VP Usi’s delegation, Malawi aims to strengthen diplomatic relations and foster collaboration in various sectors.
The timing of this visit is significant, as it comes at a crucial moment for regional integration and economic development in Southern Africa.
