President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has wrapped up his European working tour in Berlin with a high-level bilateral meeting with President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier at his official residence.
Chakwera and Steinmeier discussed mutual issues that have characterized ties between the two nations since 1964, the same year Malawi attained political independence.
The two leaders have agreed to sustain and strengthen the ties especially now, when Malawi has refreshed its development agenda with the adoption of the Malawi2063 Vision.
While in Berlin, President Chakwera has received enormous support for his vision that calls for concerted efforts around sustainable investments in priority areas of Agriculture, Tourism and Mining under what is termed as the ATM Strategy.
Earlier in the week, President Chakwera visited the Vatican City, Italy where he also held talks with Pope Francis.
President Chakwera is expected to leave Berlin later in the day for Malawi.
