“After developing an application we move into building a network and in order for us to achieve faster productivity we have realised that we need to train locals to do the job. I therefore present to you Your Excellency, scholarships that will see young Malawians study ICT so that they shall become the seed for the future development of technology in Malawi,” said Xu.
In his remarks Mutharika hailed China for its contribution to the education, health, infrastructure development and ICT sector.

I have personally interacted with Malawian students who are studying in this country. Let me also particularly thank Huawei for their gesture. As government we appreciate this support,” Mutharika said.
