Malawi and Mozambique on Thursday signed three agreements to enhance the movement of people and goods between the two neighboring countries.
The agreements, signed after bilateral talks between President Lazarus Chakwera and Mozambican President Daniel Chapo, include the establishment of a One Stop Border Post, implementation of digital systems, and introduction of direct flights between the two countries.
In an interview with journalists,Minister of Foreign Affairs Nancy Tembo revealed that the agreements aim to simplify travel and trade between Malawi and Mozambique.
Tembo highlighted the challenges posed by the current lack of direct flights, which force travelers to take connecting flights through South Africa and Zambia.
She said the new direct flights will greatly ease travel between the two nations.
President Chapo who is in the country is expected to engage in several activities, including a tour of the Parliament Building, a visit to the Kamuzu Mausoleum, and a lunch meeting with Malawian business leaders.
