President Mutharika had an audience with Guterres before signing a visitors’ book and a traditional photo shoot heads of state have with incumbent top boss for the world body.

During their meeting, the two leaders discussed a number of issues related to Malawi and the UN.

“The Secretary-General welcomed Malawi’s response to HIV/AIDS and encouraged further progress. He also commended Malawi on troop contributions to UN peace operations,” reads part of the statement.

President Mutharika acknowledged the strong UN response to the El Niño drought in the [southern African] region, according to the statement.

The meeting between the two was the first one since Guterres became UN Secretary-General on 1 January 2017, following his formal election by the UN General Assembly on 13 October, 2016.

The 68-year-old Portuguese diplomat and former prime minister of Portugal is the ninth secretary general of UN.

  1. President Peter Mutharika:

    It is with great honor and respect that I am requesting your help. I am an American citizen. As such we are bind together by laws of due process of which have been ratified through our ties of agreements. Due to the International Labor Relations Laws that binds it is not fair to any nation to allow the abuse of children to knowingly take place and not implement correcting such a problem expeditiously.
    What I am referring to here is the Cocoa Plantations and how the Chocolate Industries of America denies knowing the abuse, raping, sodomizing and murdering of the children on the Ivory Coast of Africa and Ghana is taking place. When in fact the Cocoa bean is the main ingredient in chocolate and these five year old boys and girls sold to the Cocoa Plantations farmers. Produce 60 percent of the world’s cocoa beans. These children are not receiving any wages, they are not allowed to go to school. They are worked from sun up yo sun down 100 hours a week every week. Convention Law 38, which is ratified speaks on the rights of the child but nothing is being enforced.
    My book titled “The Cocoa Plantations America’s Chocolate Secret…”is designed to bring awareness to what is currently taking place with the children. I have also completed the treatment for the movie of which I am asking for your assistance. I need your help in getting my (treatment script) into the hands of a movie producer who will have the courage to produce a movie such as this.

    The children need help the movie is not designed to attempt to close down the Chocolate Industries. But to bring awareness to the world in order that the Chocolate Industries will make better decisions concerning the life of each and every child on the Cocoa Plantations.

    President Mutharika, you stated you wanted to bring awareness and change to the degrading issues taking place in Africa with the women, and children in Africa. I assure you Sir, this will be a movie the world will be in awe of and will never forget.
    U.S.A. for Africa. I will fight my faith fight until my Father which art in heaven says different. U look forward to hearing from you Mr. President.

    We are the voice of these children. We are the Father’s and Mother’s of these children. I am humbly asking for you help, please.
