MDNL also identify expertise among Malawians and friends of Malawi living in Greater London and beyond to contribute to various aspects of development of the country
According to MDNL chairman, Watipatso Mkandawire said the event this year is aimed at facilitating dialogue of the various networks that represent Malawi diaspora as well as friends of Malawi in the United Kingdom.
“ MDNL will also be extending a special welcome to the new High Commissioner who recently presented his letters of credence.
