President Peter Mutharika on Wednesday consolidated Malawi’s desire to have friends across the world, when he received letters of credence from North Korea, Austria and Kuwait at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe.

Kuwait Ambassador to Malawi, Ahmed Khalid Al Jeeran Tuesday said his government is keen to improve relationship between the two countries and promised assistance in areas of health and investment.

Speaking to journalists after presenting letters of credence to President Mutharika, Ahmed Khalid Al Jeeran said cooperation’s between Malawi and Kuwait is one among the fruitful relations and that for years the two nations have worked so hard to make sure that the life of its people is improved for the better.

“I am so happy to have presented letters of credence to President Mutharika and among the top most issues we discussed is how to improve our health systems as well as investment.

“I therefore informed the President that Kuwait is ready to send its doctors to Malawi and provide the necessary assistance required by the Malawi Ministry of health,” he explained.

He further said, “I am aware of the Kuwait charity organizations working in the country and we discussed with the President about the need to upscale the sector and also make sure that a larger number of people benefit from such organizations.”

Other issues that the two discussed included the Kuwait fund which the Ambassador said his government was ready to release.

“Our officials will be coming to Malawi to further discuss about the Kuwait fund and other developmental projects,” Ahmed Khalid Al Jeeran explained.

Also presenting letters of credence on Wednesday was Kim Hynon IL, Ambassador of North Korea.

In his speech Kim said despite that no specific areas were identified, his country is ready to assist Malawi in a number of sectors.

“I came to present my letter of credence and I will come shortly to discuss with the President on possible areas that we may assist,” he said.

Kim Hynon IL, Ambassador of North Korea will be operating from Luanda while Ahmed Khalid Al Jeeran is based in Harare, Zimbabwe.

I dont see any problems with who we tie our knot with as long as we express what our areas of interest are. We have been friends with the West (USA in particular) but honestly these guys have no respect at all of our own values. No wonder they attach “nuisance” conditions to their friendship: things like same sex marriages; how do these things help in developing our country??? I hate them honestly!!!! Please Mr President invite Russia too.

This is not new with Malawi, Malawi was a friend of Apartheid South Africa when America and other countries had bad ties with her. Malawi benefited alot from South Africa. Malawi ndiwoyima payekha it should remain as such. If America did not stop being with ties with Malawi then why should we be afraid now. Fear has a torment, fear not Malawians make more friend, exploit more new place, take risks and move forward

There is a future at a short distance if Malawians politicians are to swallow their pride especially the opposition parties and work hand in hand with the government of the day while you are growing your own manifestos. It is through these friendship, where we get growth in education through sharing of expertise and resources.

And moreover North Korea has not said “because you are allies with the USA then you don’t have to be our friend” and we don’t expect the US to question that otherwise they will prove to be bad friends and badly intentioned.

As much as I know an ambassador is entitled his or her excellency and this tells you how important the position is you receive the whole honours the president is ought to so questioning the honour rendered here is exposing how little knowledge is gathered, I suggest that people before you comment try to conduct some research a bit to avoid goofing openly. I also want to add my thoughts on our relationship with the controversial North Korea, I don’t believe in that my friend’s enemy is my enemy as well so I have no problem having North Korea as… Read more »
