President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has urged local manufacturers in the country to always produce high-quality goods that can compete on the global market.

Speaking during a dinner with business captains from the Eastern Region at Chikoko-Bay State Lodge in Mangochi on Saturday evening, the President emphasized the need for Malawi to strengthen its local manufacturing sector in order to boost exports and drive economic growth.

He noted that Malawi’s reliance on imports has hindered the country’s economic progress, and that it is time for a paradigm shift.

The President encouraged local manufacturers to innovate and improve their products, emphasizing that the government is committed to supporting them through various initiatives, by producing goods that meet international standards, to earn much-needed foreign exchange.

He assured the business leaders that his administration is working tirelessly to create a conducive environment for local manufacturers to thrive.

By strengthening local manufacturers, the President said Malawi can reduce its trade deficit and become a major player in regional and global trade.

On his part, Minister of Trade and Industry, Honourable Sosten Gwengwe, said that the President’s call to action is a clear indication of his commitment to transforming Malawi’s economy and improving the lives of its citizens.

Gwengwe said that his ministry is working tirelessly to ensure that the trade industry has a conducive environment for Malawians.

Other speakers at the event included Deputy Chief Executive Officer for NBS Bank, Temwani Simwaka, and Vice President for Malawi Confederation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Arnold M’bwana, who acknowledged the commitment by Chakwera’s administration to transform Malawi’s economy and improve the lives of its citizens.

Biden’s withdrawal opens historic opportunity for Kamala Harris

By Burnett Munthali

President Joe Biden’s recent decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination presents Harris with a unique chance to make further history. As the first woman and the first woman of color to serve as Vice President, Harris is now positioned to become the first woman President of the United States.

In a letter announcing his departure from the race, Biden expressed deep gratitude to Harris. “I want to thank Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work,” he wrote. The endorsement was further emphasized in a social media post featuring a photo of the two of them on the White House grounds. “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made,” Biden added.

Kamala Harris

Harris’s path to this opportunity has not been without challenges. During her own 2020 presidential campaign, she had notable confrontations with Biden, particularly on policy issues. Despite this, Biden’s pledge to select a running mate who was both a woman and experienced led him to choose Harris, who had previously served as California’s Attorney General and a U.S. Senator.

Now, with Biden’s endorsement, Harris faces the task of rallying the Democratic base and navigating the upcoming election, building on her significant achievements and experience. Her candidacy is poised to continue breaking barriers and reshaping the future of American politics.
