Former Malawi President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has called on Africa to assert its agency and move beyond conventional development paradigms toward self-driven prosperity.
Chakwera made the remarks on Fiday at the 4th Edition of the Africa Political Outlook summit, taking place in Brussels.
In his key note address, Chakwera, accompanied by Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Deputy Director of International Affairs Chalo, shared his perspective on the evolving dynamics between Africa and its international partners.
The former Malawi leader called on African nations can strengthen their position in an increasingly multipolar world, touching on navigating global realignments and advancing regional integration within the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
While in Brussels, Chakwera held several high-level engagements, including a meeting with Younous Omarjee, Vice President of the European Parliament, and gave an interview with international news network Euronews.
