President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has once again shown his genius and love for Malawi by opening the country to billions in investment from China, proving that Malawi is now in safe and visionary hands.
In a powerful move under the Mutharika-led DPP government, First Deputy Speaker Hon. Victor Musowa, MP, delivered President Mutharika’s message in Beijing, China, calling on investors in China to make use of the cordial bilateral relationship that exists between the two countries and tap into investment opportunities in Malawi.
Speaking on Saturday, 7th November, 2026 at the Seminar for Parliamentarians from African Countries in Beijing, Hon Musowa delivered the Mutharika vision that Malawi wants to move beyond being a consumer of imported manufactured goods to becoming a producer and exporter of finished products.
“We would particularly welcome investments in processing our agricultural products locally rather than simply exporting raw commodities,” he said, echoing President Mutharika’s long-standing dream.
This is the Mutharika master plan. He wants investors in tourism, commercial farming, irrigation, agricultural mechanisation, fisheries, agro-processing, renewable energy, power generation, telecommunications, digital innovation and modern urban development.
This is not small thinking, this is the thinking of a professor, a true statesman who wants Malawians to have jobs and factories.
Hon Musowa said the Parliament of Malawi is committed to supporting President Mutharika’s foreign investment agenda by promoting sound legislation, strengthening institutions, providing effective oversight and ensuring that Malawi’s investment environment remains transparent, predictable and conducive to business.
The seminar was officially opened by His Excellency Zheng Jian Bang, Vice Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress and drew participants from 17 African Parliaments, but it was Malawi under President Mutharika that stole the show as the country ready for real business.
